Some very punctual movements mark technological eras. Blockchain is undoubtedly one of them. After listening to some people in the sector, I decided to make a list of startups that are betting on the use of blockchain.
By the way, and not by chance, startups are betting on the use of blockchain to associate trust and security protocols, certification and validation of transactions or completion, to their projects. Not to mention cryptocurrencies.
But what about you, would you know how to list the startups that use emerging technologies such as blockchain?
Despite being quite on the rise, the term blockchain is still not so common among Brazilians. Except for those most interested in technology and innovation. The possibility of decentralizing information offered by blockchain is what makes it different from other technologies and at the same time so innovative.
For this reason too, it is easily found in technology projects that require a superior degree of information and data security. Let’s go to startups.
Startups Using Blockchain
GoLedger
GoLedger has considerable penetration in governments and with a promising product. The company specializes in developing, on demand, private and permissioned blockchains based on the Hyperledger framework, a project of the Linux Foundation.
For GoLedger, blockchain technology offers the technological solution capable of performing a unified process with 100% reliability in transactions.
wconnect
wconnect, in addition to being a national leader in the big data analytics market, is a developer of solutions that use blockchain. The best known is Simples Receita, which soon evolved into Simples ID. The digital health portfolio brings together the entire medical, hospital, clinical and laboratory history of the patient. All this with blockchain security and fully GDPR compliant.
I participate in the development of the Simples ID solution, as I am a partner in the company.
Interchains
Interchains is a consulting firm dedicated to connecting and transforming businesses through the use of blockchain. The startup believes in generating new business models using blockchain and IoT in B2B and B2C environments. Interchains, created by Bernardo Madeira, has expertise in Ethereum, Hyperledger, Corda, Quorum and IOTA platforms for on-premise and cloud deployments.
Multiledger
Multiledgers is premised on interoperability between networks, so it seeks solutions and manages IT for companies. In this way, it connects global cloud infrastructure providers to customers and seeks the best cost-benefit ratios. As everything happens with the use of blockchain, customers have transparency in the processes and are easily surprised by cost savings in projects, for example.
Solution for agribusiness
Harthor
Harthor defines itself as a scalable and easy-to-use blockchain for digital assets. According to the startup’s own definition, it offers a technology that is the natural evolution of the bitcoin blockchain, reaching more than 200 transactions per second (tps) without a central coordinator or masternodes.
Currently, the startup is creating a crypto asset for agribusiness and, in particular, I believe it has giant potential for ESG.
Lavore Mio
Startup Lavore Mio, of which I am an angel investor, envisions storing certificates securely digitally, such as a digital education wallet. With the support of blockchain technology, Lavore Mio enables users to have all their certification, in terms of diplomas, stored in the cloud and under the protection of the blockchain.
This blockchain certification wallet allows a person to have all certificates and diplomas registered digitally and under security, which prevents any kind of fraud, especially with regard to the issuance of certificates. Particularly, it is very nice to participate in this evolution where everyone benefits, especially with regard to combating fraud in certificates and diplomas.
Origin verification with blockchain
Safe Trace
Safe Trace is a company focused on the traceability of the food production chain, so that all information related to the ecosystem involved in food production is correct and transparent.
The Blockchain Safe Trace platform is widely used by companies that want to guarantee the origin of the inputs used in production. Carrefour, for example, uses a seal of guarantee of origin, which means that its suppliers are socially responsible, economically and environmentally correct.
Blockchain Academy
The Blockchain Academy , from the 2TM group, the same as Mercado Bitcoin, is the first teaching platform focused on knowledge in cryptoeconomics and blockchain. If knowledge was centralized before, today it is decentralized and blockchain is at the center of all this development.
The startup believes that access to knowledge in blockchain and cryptoeconomics generates great economic and social impacts. Therefore, its mission is to make technology more accessible.
These are the 8 startups that use blockchain technology to make a difference in our daily lives. It is worth remembering that I talked to some people in the technology sector to list these companies.
I hope you enjoyed. See you in the next articles.
A hug!
