Lazy Superheroes is a play-to-earn (P2E) idle game built on the Hedera network, centered around a collection of unique superhero non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The project combines digital ownership with passive gameplay, allowing players to earn rewards without requiring constant, active participation. To engage with the game, a player must first own a Lazy Superhero NFT, which serves as their primary in-game character.
The core gameplay loop involves sending superhero NFTs on missions. Missions are time-based and, once initiated, they run passively in the background. Upon successful completion, players are rewarded with $LAZY, the game's native utility token. This token is central to the game’s economy and progression system. Players can then use their earned $LAZY to train their superheroes, which improves their stats and attributes. Upgrading a hero increases its effectiveness, allowing it to undertake more challenging missions and generate greater rewards in the future.
This cycle of sending heroes on missions, earning $LAZY, and reinvesting it into training forms a strategic loop that encourages long-term engagement. The entire ecosystem, from the superhero NFTs to the $LAZY token and the mission transactions, is built and managed on the Hedera network.
The eftpos solution by Australian Payments Plus provides a cost effective, secure and flexible payment infrastructure for Australian businesses. It supports real time debit transactions, tap to pay on mobile devices, eftpos QR payments and least cost routing, which allows merchants to automatically direct debit transactions through the lowest cost network to help reduce the cost of acceptance.
Australian Payments Plus has worked with Google to enable least cost routing in Google Wallet, with ANZ and Suncorp the first issuers to offer this capability. It is also partnering with Giesecke and Devrient to develop eftpos Click to Pay with integrated least cost routing, an online checkout service that uses tokenisation to protect card credentials and is scheduled for rollout from early 2026 following pilot trials.
These developments enhance payment efficiency, improve security, support domestic data sovereignty and align with Reserve Bank of Australia findings that least cost routing can materially reduce merchant debit acceptance costs.
