We were proud and humbled that the organisers were excited about our award by EYA and even announced it in introducing Roy. Participants and audiences alike came up to Roy after his presentation to say that they heard about Sentinel Chain through word of mouth, and had also watched the panel session at Consensus Singapore where he had recently been invited to speak.

Flood Relief Programme
It seems like ages ago that we ran a flood relief programme to help those impacted in Myanmar. Remember this video https://youtu.be/8X0eX_jw2_g of our boat ride across 8’ tall cornfields drowned by the floods? We shall soon share full details, and in the meantime, here’s the dual-language speech delivered by our colleague Tang who went to Bago to attend the donation presentation event organised by our charity partner, Border Areas Development Association (BDA).
Sentinel Chain is a blockchain-based international marketplace for cross-border financial services and the world’s first platform to accept the use of livestock as collateral. Taking a unique approach to the last mile problem of financial inclusion, the Sentinel Chain model establishes livestock provenance through the creation of livestock insurance on blockchain — the registration of livestock provenance on blockchain provides the unbanked with a new opportunity: the real possibility of accepting livestock as ‘collateral’ for loans. Sentinel Chain is a project by InfoCorp Technologies.
