Karate Combat is a unique experience combining professional martial arts with gaming and Web3 technology. It features a full contact karate league with fighters from various karate styles and, occasionally, other striking-based martial arts, compete in a unique, 6.5m x 6.5m "combat pit" with 45-degree angled walls that promote continuous action.
A hallmark of Karate Combat is its innovative use of technology. Fights are streamed globally and feature immersive CGI environments created with the Unreal Engine, offering a visually distinct experience. The league is deeply integrated with Web3 technologies, and leverages the Hedera blockchain network.
This integration includes the $KARATE token, which allows fans to participate in the "Up Only Gaming" system which rewards users for wins without forcing them to wager tokens. Through a dedicated mobile app, fans vote for fighters, potentially increasing the fighters' prize pools, and earn more $KARATE tokens if their chosen fighters win, without losing tokens for incorrect picks.
Karate Combat’s unique combat system features rules emphasizing exciting, striking-based combat, with three-minute rounds and a scoring system that rewards aggression and effectiveness. It’s known for its fast-paced action, powerful knockouts, and unique presentation.

Lil Monki is a collection of 1,212 unique, 3D-rendered NFT characters that represent the genesis project within the broader "Lil Universe" ecosystem on the Hedera network.
As the foundational characters of the Lil Universe, Lil Monkis serve as a key to accessing features and interacting with other future collections within the expanding ecosystem and community.
A central element of the Lil Monki project is the "Monki Lab," a feature that allows holders to evolve their NFTs. By combining a Lil Monki with other specific assets from the ecosystem, users can create new, often rarer characters, introducing a strategic and deflationary dynamic to the collection. This process, along with other platform activities, is powered by the native ecosystem token, $LILU. Holders can typically stake their Lil Monki NFTs to passively earn $LILU, which is then used to pay for evolutions and other transactions within the Lil Universe.
Built entirely on Hedera, the project leverages the network's speed and low transaction fees to enable an affordable and efficient user experience for staking, trading, and utilizing the NFT evolution mechanics.
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.
The Managed Guardian Service (MGS) is a SaaS platform built on the open source Hedera Guardian, designed to simplify the creation, management, and verification of digital emissions and carbon offset tokens.

MGS builds on the Guardian’s Policy Workflow Engine and W3C-backed Web3 integrations, offering flexible onboarding (UI and API), real time indexing, analytics, and full lifecycle oversight for tokenised environmental assets. Operated by Envision Blockchain and supported by the Hedera Foundation and Swirlds Labs, MGS enables organisations to streamline carbon accounting, uphold transparent methodologies, and scale climate solutions securely on Hedera’s fast, low energy network.
