Qples is a digital promotions platform that specializes in the creation, distribution, and validation of digital coupons for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands and retailers. The platform provides an end-to-end solution for delivering targeted offers to consumers through various channels, including mobile wallets and print-at-home formats.
It’s goal is to address long-standing challenges in the coupon industry, most notably fraud and the lack of real-time validation through its integration with the Hedera blockchain network. By leveraging the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), Qples creates a verifiable and immutable record for each digital coupon it issues. When a coupon is created, its unique data is hashed and submitted to the Hedera public ledger, generating a "proof of state" with a secure, tamper-proof timestamp.
This on-chain verification allows for real-time authentication at the point of sale, effectively preventing fraudulent redemptions and unauthorized duplication through the creation of a universal, single-use digital asset. Its integration with the Hedera blockchain network enables Qples to offer brands a highly secure, transparent, and data-rich promotions solution.

NOWPayments is a non-custodial cryptocurrency payment gateway that was founded in 2019. Its mission is to make it easy for businesses to accept a wide variety of cryptocurrencies, with a focus on providing a seamless and secure payment experience.
The core of NOWPayments' service is a platform that allows merchants to accept over 300 different cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins, and to receive payments in their preferred fiat currency. The platform offers a range of integration options, including APIs, e-commerce plugins, and donation widgets. A key feature of the platform gives users the ability to offer automatic coin conversion, which allows merchants to accept a variety of cryptocurrencies without having to manage multiple wallets. The platform also offers a mass payments solution, which enables businesses to send payments to multiple recipients in various cryptocurrencies.
NOWPayments has a direct integration with the Hedera network, providing full support for HBAR and other Hedera-based tokens. This allows merchants using the NOWPayments platform to accept HBAR as a form of payment.
Trustury, developed by Meeco, is a specialized platform designed to enhance the transparency and auditability of tokenized assets on the Hedera blockchain network, particularly those focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. It functions as an open-source interface that enables users to manage, visualize, and securely share trusted information associated with tokens and decentralized identifiers (DIDs) on the Hedera network. The platform's primary role is to support the growth and adoption of Hedera's Guardian, a modular open-source solution for creating highly auditable and compliant tokenization workflows.
It provides a public-facing dashboard or "explorer" that displays tokens from across the Hedera ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to drill down into a token’s provenance and verify its adherence to specific standards or policies, such as ESG requirements.
Trustury integrates deeply with Hedera's native services, using the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to fetch token details and its DID method for identity management. By providing clear visualization tools and a consistent mechanism for users to interact with Guardian-based assets, Trustury serves as essential infrastructure for building trusted, auditable, and sustainable digital economies on Hedera.
Apache Log4j is an open-source, Java-based logging utility used by developers to record application events, errors, and operational data. It is a popular tool for debugging, system monitoring, and conducting audits across myriad Java platforms.
In the Hedera ecosystem, the log4j2-hedera repository offers a specific integration for Log4j 2.x and provides a custom appender that enables recording of logged events directly to the Hedera network via the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This allows applications to interact with HCS to submit their log entries, effectively writing them onto Hedera's distributed ledger.
The primary benefits of this integration include ensuring that logged data is distributed, secure, and transparent providing provable security. Furthermore, it guarantees the integrity and immutability of the recorded log information, as each entry is validated by Hedera’s consensus mechanism. This specialized appender provides a robust solution for applications requiring verifiable, tamper-resistant logging. This use case is distinct from how Hedera's core network software and provides additional verification.
W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of globally unique identifier designed to enable verifiable, decentralised digital identity. As a formal web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the DID architecture is a foundational component for building a more secure and user-centric internet.
Unlike traditional identifiers such as email addresses or usernames, DIDs are not tied to any centralised registry or company. This means that individuals and organisations can create and control their own identifiers, giving them "self-sovereign" control over their digital identities. The core of the system is the DID Document, a JSON file that contains the cryptographic keys and service endpoints associated with a DID. This document is stored on a distributed ledger or other decentralised network, allowing for secure and verifiable interactions.
The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a tamper-proof and auditable log of all DID-related events, such as creation, updates, and revocation.
