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.

It also features a user-friendly interface and offers both USB-C and secure Bluetooth connectivity for flexible interaction with companion applications and decentralized applications (DApps) within the Hedera ecosystem.
Circle's USD Coin (USDC), integrated with the Hedera network, offers a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This collaboration allows USDC to be minted natively on Hedera, leveraging the network's fast settlements (around 3-5 seconds), low transaction fees (typically $0.0001 to $0.001, paid in HBAR), and high scalability.
USDC on Hedera provides a trusted, stable, and reliable bridge for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and end-users on the Circle and Hedera networks. Circle's increasingly popular suite of developer APIs offers full support for USDC on Hedera, facilitating its use in various applications including both payments and micropayments.
With USDC, enterprises and financial institutions have access to cross-platform liquidity and secure cross-border transactions. It’s currently used to facilitate payments and micropayments within applications such as Calaxy, Dropp, and Scintilla as well as to in support of numerous DeFi, NFT projects, and network bridge applications building on Hedera including SaucerSwap and Hashport.
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.
Blockchain for Energy (B4E) is a non-profit, member-led consortium dedicated to driving digital transformation within the energy sector. Comprising major energy companies including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Repsol, B4E was established to collaboratively develop and implement blockchain-based solutions that can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase transparency across the industry.
The consortium's flagship product is the B4ECarbon platform, an advanced digital measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV) solution. This platform integrates AI and IoT with distributed ledger technology to provide a secure and auditable system for managing emissions data. It enables energy operators to track, report, and verify their environmental performance in near real-time, helping to prevent greenwashing and ensure compliance with global standards. The B4E Network & Platform, built on Hyperledger FireFly, serves as the foundational layer connecting all of the consortium's solutions in a decentralised environment governed by its members.
The B4ECarbon platform is built on the Hedera public network, and has been a member of the Hedera Governing Council since June 2025.
