Theom is a data security and governance company founded in 2020 by a team of veterans from Google, Cisco, and Yahoo. The San Francisco-based firm was created to address the challenges of securing data in modern, federated cloud environments, a problem the founders experienced firsthand while building and scaling foundational data systems such as Hadoop and BigQuery.
The company's core offering is its Data and AI Operations Center, a platform that provides a unified control plane for data security and governance. Theom's technology works by focusing on the data itself, rather than the perimeter, to monitor and control access. The platform can map data flows and user identity in real-time without the use of agents, enforce least-privilege access policies, and detect threats before they escalate. It integrates with major cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS, providing security for everything from cloud data warehouses to generative AI pipelines.
Theom utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable audit log of all actions taken on a customer's data. Every event, from data classification and risk remediation to simple observation, is logged on the Hedera network.

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 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 Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) is a cross-industry community founded in 2019 by Adobe, The New York Times, and Twitter to combat digital misinformation and provide a verifiable layer of trust for online content. With a rapidly growing membership of over 4,000, the CAI brings together technology companies, media organizations, and civil society to develop open-source tools and standards that promote transparency and give creators credit for their work.
The primary service of the CAI is the development and promotion of Content Credentials, an open-source technology that functions like a "nutrition label" for digital media. This system allows creators to attach secure, tamper-evident metadata to their content, creating a verifiable record of its origin, authorship, and edit history. This provenance data is cryptographically signed and remains with the content as it is shared and modified. The technical specifications for Content Credentials are developed by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), a standards development organization co-founded by Adobe.
