Orbs is happy to announce that Gartner — the international research and business consulting company — has named Orbs one of the world’s four Cool Vendors for the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry in 2018. This is a major milestone for the company and its progress to bring the value of the technology to the business world.

The Gartner report recognizes “emerging blockchain technology vendors that enterprise architecture and technology innovation leaders should evaluate for blockchain identity and decentralized application services.” The other three Cool Vendors are Brave, Civic, and Evernym.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Gartner as a blockchain vendor for their enterprise clients,” said Uriel Peled, co-founder of Orbs. “To appear among just four blockchain companies named globally, we feel is a mark of Orbs’ continued innovation and progress toward driving mainstream adoption of blockchain technology.”

The Orbs blockchain is built with the flexible design of standard software — rolling upgrades and updates — that other blockchains need forks to change.

“Our platform that is built for developers, by developers, to provide them with the flexibility, security, and a new scalability standard that is needed to maintain a decentralized application.”

We look forward to sharing more updates with the community as progress continues toward launch of the Orbs platform.
