30th March, 2021, Beijing, China — Wanglu Tech Ltd. (“Wanchain”) is pleased to announce that the State Grid Corporation of China (“State Grid”) has approved the results of its contracted feasibility study.

The study systematically analyzed the impact of integrating blockchain technology into State Grid’s national data management system and concluded that Wanchain’s blockchain technology is ideal to upgrade the world’s largest utility company’s national data management system.

Study Highlights

The feasibility study results highlight the unique requirements of State Grid’s national data management system and outlines the specific consensus mechanisms and encryption algorithms best suited to integrate with existing systems.

On the basis of these results, State Grid selected Wanchain’s interoperable blockchain technology to build a company-wide, inter-departmental, cross-regional data management system. This upgraded system will leverage Wanchain’s T-Bridge framework, enabling interoperability between private and public blockchains.

Enterprise blockchain solutions highlight the need for truly interoperable solutions. This collaboration reinforces Wanchain’s interoperable blockchain technology as the best in the industry.”

Smart Contracts and 5G

State Grid will also use smart contracts to automate and streamline data management systems. Combined with other emerging technologies, such as 5G, State Grid is designing a new, integrated data management system using Wanchain’s blockchain technology.
