Transak is a global Web3 payment provider that builds developer-focused tools to bridge traditional finance with digital assets. The company’s core service is to enable users to seamlessly buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly within any decentralized application (dApp). This is primarily achieved through a simple, embeddable widget or API that developers can integrate into their platforms with just a few lines of code.

‍

By handling the complex backend processes of payment processing, fraud monitoring, and regulatory compliance like KYC/AML, Transak solves a critical onboarding challenge for the Web3 ecosystem. It eliminates the need for users to leave a dApp, register on a centralized exchange, and manually transfer funds, which significantly reduces friction and improves user conversion rates. The platform supports a wide array of local payment methods across more than 150 countries, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and other regional options.

‍

Transak is integrated with the Hedera network. This enables developers building on Hedera to provide their users with a direct and localized on-ramp to purchase HBAR and other Hedera-based tokens.

HashAxis is a global NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network, designed for buying, selling, and discovering digital collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint, manage, and trade NFTs and is supported by the HBAR foundation.   

‍

A key advantage of HashAxis is its utilization of Hedera's low and predictable transaction fees, high-speed performance (capable of 10,000 transactions per second), and carbon-negative footprint. This makes creating, buying, and selling NFTs comparatively more accessible and environmentally friendly. HashAxis also supports native Hedera functionalities including “atomic swaps” for secure peer-to-peer trading and on-chain royalty payments, which provide automatic compensation to creators for secondary sales.   

‍

HashAxis integrates “Filecoin” for decentralized NFT storage and is one of the only NFT marketplaces to offer a streamlined, no-code interface for users to engage with digital collectibles across various categories, including art, profile pictures and more.

Apache Log4j is an open-source, Java-based logging utility used by developers to record application events, errors, and operational data. It is a popular tool for debugging, system monitoring, and conducting audits across myriad Java platforms.

‍

In the Hedera ecosystem, the log4j2-hedera repository offers a specific integration for Log4j 2.x and provides a custom appender that enables recording of logged events directly to the Hedera network via the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This allows applications to interact with HCS to submit their log entries, effectively writing them onto Hedera's distributed ledger. 

‍

The primary benefits of this integration include ensuring that logged data is distributed, secure, and transparent providing provable security. Furthermore, it guarantees the integrity and immutability of the recorded log information, as each entry is validated by Hedera’s consensus mechanism. This specialized appender provides a robust solution for applications requiring verifiable, tamper-resistant logging. This use case is distinct from how Hedera's core network software and provides additional verification.
