Mainstream Adoption of Blockchain Technology is Happening

Don’t let anyone tell you there are no real-world use cases for blockchain technology. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in the number of companies announcing they’re using Chainpoint to anchor data to the Bitcoin blockchain. Our team at Tierion is proud to be leading the mainstream adoption of the blockchain to prove the integrity and timestamp of data.

Xero

Xero’s API team has developed a project that uses Chainpoint to prove the existence and integrity of accounting data by anchoring it to the Bitcoin blockchain.

Ultimus

Ultimus has integrated with Tierion to create proof of business processes in banking, healthcare, law, medical technology, government, compliance, and other industries. Ultimus recently won a 2018 IT Innovation Award for their blockchain-enabled BPM product and use of Chainpoint.

This video demonstrates how Ultimus and Tierion are used to process a loan application. It includes a live demonstration of Ultimus’ BPM software.

Liaison

Liaison is using Chainpoint to improve data security in healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, financial services, and other industries.

EVRYTHNG

EVRYTHNG customers can use Chainpoint to verify data in their supply chain transactions. EVRYTHNG has created a detailed tutorial that explains how Chainpoint proofs are used in their application.

These examples represent a fraction of the real-world applications we’ve seen for Chainpoint.

What is Chainpoint?

Chainpoint lets software developers link data to the blockchain. This process generates a Chainpoint proof, which can be used to prove the data is linked to a point on the chain — hence the name Chainpoint.

Blockchains are notoriously slow. Bitcoin can process about four transactions per second. Ethereum can process approximately fifteen transactions per second. Chainpoint overcomes these scalability limitations by linking thousands or even millions of Chainpoint proofs to a single transaction.

Software developers can learn more by visiting the Chainpoint web site or GitHub.
