The Coupon Bureau is a non-profit, industry-managed organization established to modernize the coupon industry by creating a centralized data exchange for all stakeholders. The organization's primary mission is to combat coupon fraud, an issue estimated to cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually, while also improving efficiency and the consumer experience.
At the heart of The Coupon Bureau's work is the development and implementation of the new Universal Coupon standard, also known as AI (8112). This new standard replaces the outdated barcode system with a more secure, serialized format for both digital and paper coupons. This allows for real-time validation of every coupon at the point of sale, effectively eliminating counterfeiting and ensuring that each coupon is used only once, as intended by the manufacturer. The platform, known as the Universal Positive Offer File, serves as this central repository for all coupon data, connecting manufacturers, retailers, and consumers in a seamless ecosystem.
The Coupon Bureau utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof, auditable log of every coupon's lifecycle. Each time a coupon is created, distributed, or redeemed, a transaction is recorded on the Hedera public ledger.

Tolam Earth is a Web3 marketplace and data utility platform engineered to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and credibility of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Launched as a joint venture with backing from the HBAR Foundation, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Object Computing, Tolam directly addresses critical market challenges such as price opacity, illiquidity, and concerns over the integrity of carbon credits.
Built on the Hedera network, the platform provides a marketplace for corporate buyers and carbon project developers to transact in Digital Environmental Assets (DEAs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to represent carbon credits as unique tokens and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a publicly verifiable and immutable audit trail for all transactions and credit retirements. This ensures a high degree of trust and transparency for all participants.
A core component of the platform is its "mitigation engine," which employs sophisticated matching algorithms. This engine helps corporate buyers discover and purchase carbon offsets that align precisely with their specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, considering factors like project type, geographical location, and additional community or biodiversity co-benefits.
