Carbon Central, developed by Australian tech firm NoviQTech, is an enterprise-grade software platform designed to help large organizations manage the complexities of carbon accounting and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting. The platform provides a unified, end-to-end solution for companies to measure, analyze, and report on their environmental footprint, particularly their Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. It aims to replace disparate spreadsheets and manual data collection methods with a single, auditable system of record.
The platform is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its technology to bring a high level of integrity and trust to the ESG data management process. A key feature of Carbon Central is its use of the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and verifiable audit trail. As enterprises input emissions data, supplier information, and other critical ESG metrics into the platform, a cryptographic hash of that data is submitted to the Hedera public ledger. This process provides a tamper-proof timestamp and a transparent, auditable record that can be securely shared with and verified by regulators, investors, and other stakeholders.
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 Reptilian Secret Society is a "play-to-earn" NFT project and decentralized community built on the Hedera network. It’s centered around a fictional universe where a secret society of reptilian beings has infiltrated every aspect of human society.
The core of the project is its series of NFT collections, starting with the "Genesis" collection of 10,000 reptilian characters. These NFTs serve as both digital collectibles and membership tokens, granting holders access to "The Syndicate," the project's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Ownership of these NFTs also provides access to various "play-to-earn" features, including the ability to stake NFTs to earn the project's native utility token. The ecosystem also includes a marketplace for trading the NFTs and a breeding mechanic that allows owners to create new "hybrid" NFTs.
The Reptilian Secret Society uses the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint all of its NFTs and fungible tokens, which ensures low, predictable transaction fees and fast, secure transfers.
Australian Payments Plus (AP+) is the national organization responsible for Australia's core payment infrastructure. It was formed by the merger of three key entities: BPAY Group, the operator of the ubiquitous BPAY bill payment service; eftpos, the national debit card system for point-of-sale transactions; and NPP Australia, which runs the New Payments Platform (NPP). In its infrastructure capacity, AP+ processes over 7.5 billion transactions annually and is central to the daily economic activity of the country.
AP+ is also an active researcher organization that is constantly exploring the capabilities of distributed ledger technology and a member of the Hedera Council.
The relationship with Hedera provides AP+ with a framework for developing and testing new solutions that could one day integrate with or enhance its established portfolio of payment services. This involvement complements its research into other future-focused technologies, including its participation in the Reserve Bank of Australia's CBDC pilot program.
