Beem is a versatile Australian digital wallet owned by Digital Wallet Pty Ltd and now part of Australian Payments Plus, a member of the Hedera Governing Council and the collective that also includes BPAY Group, eftpos and NPP Australia.

‍

It enables Australians to pay, request, transfer and split money instantly by using familiar contact names instead of BSB and account numbers. The app also supports BPAY for bill payments and offers features such as rewards and cashback through Beem Rewards and Cashrewards, loyalty and gift card storage, animated stickers and group expense management.

‍

Eftpos acquired Beem in 2020 to expand into digital wallet services and leverage its payments infrastructure for faster growth. Since then it has been downloaded more than 1.4 million times and has facilitated over US 1 billion in transactions. Australian Payments Plus operates a Hedera network node in Australia and has trialled the Hedera Consensus Service and an Australian dollar based stablecoin to enable secure and low cost micropayments, providing a potential foundation for future Beem innovations.

Hashlog is a data verification service that leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable events or data logs. It enables applications and enterprises to submit messages to the HCS, where each message receives a consensus timestamp from the Hedera network, ensuring its integrity and order. This process provides a secure and transparent "proof-of-action" or "proof-of-event" capability.

‍

Its core functionality offers a data trail for on-chain information. Once data is logged via Hashlog to the HCS, it cannot be altered or retrospectively tampered with, providing a high degree of data integrity. This is particularly useful for use cases requiring regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, or the tracking of critical operational processes. Developers integrate Hashlog systems using APIs or SDKs. 

‍

By utilizing Hedera, Hashlog provides decentralized trust, cryptographic verification, and public accessibility (if desired) for the logged information. Its applications span across multiple domains, including supply chain management for tracking goods, IoT data streams for device event verification, and legal tech for timestamping documents.
