The Hashgraph Group and String Metaverse launch "Bills-On-Chain" Platform on Hedera
Revolutionizing billing infrastructure for automated VAT refund processing and tax reclaims, with over 200,000 bills already scanned and recorded on Hedera within two weeks of go-live.
SCHWYZ, Switzerland and HYDERABAD, India, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hashgraph Group (THG), the Swiss-based leading Web3 and AI technology engineering company, and String Metaverse, India's first publicly listed Web3 infrastructure company, announced the launch of "BillsOnChain" – a groundbreaking Web3 platform that transforms everyday spending into tokenized digital assets by bridging the gap between physical receipts and the power of blockchain on July 7. Developed in strategic partnership between String Metaverse and The Hashgraph Group, the platform has already onboarded over 31,000 users with integrated wallets on Hedera and has scanned more than 830,000 bills on-chain and more than 430,000 NFTs minted using Hedera's distributed ledger technology (DLT) network.
BillsOnChain transforms everyday spending into the creation of real digital assets by securely uploading receipts, earning instant rewards, and building a transparent, verifiable transaction history, turning routine purchases into valuable on-chain activity and digital assets. This next-generation platform is set to redefine how bills are stored, transferred, financed, and tracked, bringing unprecedented transparency, efficiency, and liquidity into the financial ecosystem.
Transforming the Future of Billing Infrastructure
The BillsOnChain platform introduces a decentralized, tamper-proof framework, that digitizes and tokenizes billing across industries. By leveraging Hedera's enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology, the platform enables:
- Immutable storage of invoices and bills on-chain
- Real-time tracking and auditability
- Reduced fraud and enhanced compliance
- Seamless transferability of financial obligations across parties
- Monetization opportunities through bill financing and tokenization
The platform is designed to serve a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, financial institutions, enterprises, and SMEs, unlocking new efficiencies in both public and private sector financial operations.
Strategic Collaboration
The development of the BillsOnChain platform has been designed and developed in strategic collaboration between String Metaverse and THG, following the signing ceremony earlier this year on January 20th, 2026 at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing the digitisation and intelligent processing of invoices, receipts, and bills, leveraging distributed ledger technology as immutable audit and data integrity layer for privacy and artificial intelligence and machine learning models for data validation, duplication detection, and spend analytics.
Stefan Deiss, Co-Founder and CEO of The Hashgraph Group stated, "Our vision is to enable automated VAT refund processing, tax reclaim automation, and real-time data analytics of receipts for merchants, financial institutions, and governmental authorities. BillsOnChain is a strong example of how organizations can utilize Hedera for invoice tokenization and we look forward to working with String to improve global billing infrastructure invoice financing."
According to Business Research Insights, the blockchain B2B payments and invoice market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to expand from $22.2 billion in 2025 to nearly $1,856 billion by 2034, registering a CAGR of 63.5%. Driven by the need for secure, real-time, and cost-effective solutions, this expansion is fuelled by blockchain-based invoice financing, which provides instant liquidity and reduces fraud.
Ganesh Meenavalli, Managing Director of String Metaverse, noted, "The launch of BillsOnChain marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of financial infrastructure. At String Metaverse, we are building the rails for the future of the Internet's transaction economy. By bringing billing systems on-chain, unlocking liquidity, transparency, and programmability at a scale never seen before.
