SKUx is a fintech company developing a payments solutions platform for the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. Its mission is to eliminate the fraud and inefficiency that plagues the traditional promotional offer industry by creating a secure, transparent, and real-time system for offer delivery, redemption, and settlement.
The core of SKUx's service is its Smart Incentives platform, which transforms traditional coupons and rebates into serialized, payment-based offers. A key product is SKUPay, a patented technology that enables item-level payments, allowing brands to deliver value directly to consumers for specific products at the point of sale. The platform is designed to be seamless for consumers and requires no special integration for retailers, while providing brands with transparency and proof of ROI.
SKUx uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable record of all offer-related transactions, from issuance to redemption. This provides a "single source of truth" for all parties in the ecosystem.

Tamuwa, founded in 2015, is a Kenyan company at the forefront of the renewable energy sector in Africa. Its primary focus is on converting agricultural waste, specifically sugarcane bagasse, into a sustainable and affordable energy source. By producing high-density briquettes and pellets, Tamuwa provides a clean alternative to traditional fuels like firewood and charcoal, addressing issues of deforestation and promoting a circular economy.
The company's core service is the production and distribution of these biomass briquettes, which have a high calorific value and low moisture content, making them an efficient fuel source for industrial and domestic use. Tamuwa has also developed the CYNK platform, a digital end-to-end solution for the measurement, reporting, verification, and trading of high-quality voluntary emissions reductions (VERs). This platform is designed to bring trust and transparency to the carbon offset market, enabling local communities and projects to gain greater financial benefit from their environmental initiatives.
The CYNK platform is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its high-throughput, low-cost, and energy-efficient distributed ledger technology. This integration allows Tamuwa to digitize and tokenize verified emissions reductions, creating a secure and transparent marketplace for carbon credits.
KwikPik is a Web3-based on-demand delivery and services platform built on the Hedera blockchain network primarily focused on burgeoning markets in Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in Nigeria in 2022 to address a critical gap in reliable, efficient on-demand services, particularly in less densely populated regions.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including swift package delivery, convenient grocery and food ordering, direct sourcing of fresh farm produce, and accessible ride-hailing. At its core, KwikPik deeply integrates Hedera technology and employs the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create auditable, immutable logs for tracking driver journeys, significantly bolstering transparency, reducing fraud, and providing verifiable data for carbon emissions tracking for ESG reporting.
KwikPik’s native stablecoin, $KPL, is built upon the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This facilitates exceptionally low-cost, real-time in-app payments and provides users with intuitive, non-custodial Web3 wallets, simplifying their entry into the digital economy. This allows KwikPik to operate as an efficient decentralized physical infrastructure Network (DePIN), designed to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable services, thereby fostering financial inclusion, expanding market access for local businesses, and generating employment opportunities across its operational areas.

Logstash is an open-source, server-side data processing pipeline from Elastic NV. It ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a chosen destination. It is a core component of the Elastic Stack, often used for centralizing and processing logs, metrics, and other event data.
In the context of the Hedera blockchain network, Logstash can be integrated using tools such as the logstash-output-hedera plugin. This specific Java Output Plugin is designed for the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). It enables Logstash to send processed events or logs directly to an HCS topic. Users configure the plugin by specifying details including their HCS topic ID, an operator account ID, and the associated private key for that operator account. An optional submit key used for topic creation can also be provided, along with the target Hedera network, which can be "mainnet" or "testnet".
By using this plugin, applications can leverage Logstash's data collection and transformation capabilities to then record events onto the Hedera public ledger via HCS. This creates an immutable, verifiable, and timestamped log of the data, enhancing transparency and auditability for any system employing this integration.
