Are you a commuter or are you using your car to get to work?

Do you take colleagues or people along with you heading to the
same destination?

If you do, congratulations! You are not only reducing your travelling costs of your trip, you are also helping to reduce CO2 emission through efficiently using your own car.

Recent studies show that the transportation sector was one of the two biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States in 2016. Of the transportation sector light duty vehicles made up 60% of emissions (source). Expressed in figures, greenhouse gas emission…

Roughly 2 years ago we first described our idea of a mobile and secure platform to connect Android devices to Ethereum-based blockchains:

..our solution should be a native Android application, offer a pleasant user-experience, and offer the user a simple way to connect to an Ethereum Full Node on a personal server. We wanted to build an Ethereum toolbox for Java developers, with all the tools developers are used to work with.

The following article aims to summarize and share how our past 2 years of experience and development in the, now more than ever, very promising field of blockchain…

While working on Token wallets for our customers, we found that they and their users found it strange that to send tokens you also need to transact a small amount of Ether to cover the transaction’s cost.

Transaction fees are necessary on Blockchains, as they act as an incentive to miners to keep the network running and also as a security measure against DDoS-attacks. However, they pose as a serious threat to accessibility of new users and inhibit further acceptance in the more casual user base.

Let’s say a user accesses a service that uses utility tokens. Every time the…

We are excited to share our new project with you. In collaboration with FreeWork in Kenya we are developing an application for a decentralized socio-economic network, which will accomplish access to working opportunities for people all over the planet and ensure the remuneration of valuable work.

The project is called Kazini — swahili for work. Kazini consists of a valorization protocol and an assurance platform written as Smart Contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. You can say it is the technology that formalizes work, manages workflows and monetizes the result after a work performance is finished. For example people searching for…

In our last blog post we have shown that the use of the blockchain technology varies concerning the economic power of a country and focused on developing countries. That’s why we now want to emphasize this time the potential for blockchain technologies in first world countries, which means showing the alternative perspective. It’s not about building infrastructure it is more about optimization and automation of processes, not about reinventing the wheel or being a starry-eyed idealist. But why not make the existing world smarter?

The idea behind our developed platform is to realize an infrastructure where physical and virtual assets…

Nowadays as blockchain has evolved to become ‘the’ current buzzword it seems that everyone knows everything and anything about it. Being a distributed, decentralized and immutable database, a blockchain is great for secure and transparent records and transactions of all sorts of data and assets. But let’s leave all the technical stuff aside and focus a bit on what kind of problems can be solved through blockchain technology and which value can be created in our modern world.

We believe that blockchain technology will change the world in some way or another. Currently it seems that the path for such…

Our mobile dApp ethPay is now running on the mainchain, which means you can use it so sell and purchase products and services with real Ether!

We went into Beta with our platform Ethereum Android last October, so we set ourselves October 2017 as deadline for the MVP of ethPay. MVP meaning that we deliver a slim but fully functioning version of ethPay that runs on the main-network of Ethereum. This goal was challenging and we only managed to reach it through very clear prioritization and focus on those priorities.

The last months were mainly filled with discussions and decisions…

It’s time for a development update on our platform Ethereum Android and our mobile dApp ethPay.

The new release went public a few days ago and mainly includes two new features, support of fiat currency translation, and you can now attach product catalogs to your ethPay store.

The Ether price has exploded in the last months from around 20 USD in March to around 300 USD by the time this article is written. The exchange rate is also very volatile. This trend is certainly beneficial for people who invested early in Ether or are trading with it. …
