Tune.FM is a decentralized music streaming platform and NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network. It’s designed to upend and modernize the music industry's traditional compensation model. Its core mission is to enable transparent, secure, and instant artist payments while fostering direct connections with fan communities.
The Tune.FM platform is built on the Hedera blockchain network and utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for its native JAM token ($JAM), which relies on embedded Hedera features to facilitate real-time micropayments for artists, who are compensated for every second their music is streamed.
Tune.FM’s "play-to-earn" model features high speed processing with comparatively low fees, thus potentially allowing artists to retain a significantly greater portion of their earnings when compared to traditional streaming platforms.
Beyond streaming, Tune.FM features an integrated NFT marketplace where artists can mint and sell digital music collectibles including songs, albums, artwork, and exclusive fan experiences such as backstage passes via JAM tokens. For listeners, Tune.FM offers a platform for new music discovery, direct artist interactions and support, and a way to earn JAM tokens through fan engagement.

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.
Numbers Protocol is a decentralized network designed to establish trust and authenticity in digital media. Its primary mission is to address the challenges of misinformation and copyright infringement by creating a verifiable record of content provenance from creation to publication. It provides a transparent and immutable history for digital assets, including images, videos, and audio files.
At its core, Numbers Protocol offers a suite of tools and services for creators and developers. This includes the "Capture App," which allows users to register their digital creations, embedding them with unique identifiers and contextual metadata. The "Numbers Blockchain" serves as a specialized distributed ledger for indexing these assets and their histories. The protocol also features a "Verify Engine," a reverse-image search tool enhanced with AI, enabling users to trace the origin and modification history of digital media.
By leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized storage, including the Hedera blockchain network, Numbers Protocol enables users to create on-chain proof of their digital media, secure ownership, and track usage.
HGraph Punks is a non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera network under developer Turtle Moon. It has been active in the HBAR NFT space since 2021. The project draws thematic inspiration from the widely recognized pixelated "Punks" style of profile picture (PFP) collectibles.
A significant feature of HGraph Punks is its point system that utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This system enables mainnet-auditable leaderboards, with points directly linked to the NFTs. This allows holders to earn, track, and engage in a competitive and transparent manner. The project also supports NFT staking, where users can stake their HGraph Punks to accumulate points.
HGraph Punks and its parent entity, Turtle Moon, actively contribute to the Hedera ecosystem through community endeavors and the development of open-source Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) tools. Additionally, HGraph Punks has collaborated on community-focused initiatives such as "Liftoff," presented as a virtual music venue and social environment within the Hedera ecosystem.
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.
