Blockchain implementation just got a step closer to being faster and simpler.
Today we finally get a closer look at Assembly, Symbiont’s secretive “dedicated distributed ledger”, which uses containerized code and a streamlined consensus system to enable smart contracts that the startup claims can rapidly deploy across a wide range of blockchains and sectors.
With its fast transactions and ease of proof-of-concept creation, this could have significant impact for a broad spectrum of financial services. Could it also be a sign of an industry shift away from custom private blockchains towards the commodification of blockchain-as-a-service? (Read the full story here.)
What else?
· DCU joins the Chamber of Digital Commerce. Sector shift?
· Equity swaps blockchain testing by big financial firms. Who?
· Increasing blockchain activity amongst India’s banks. Strong interest.
· Is a SegWit release imminent? Could be.
· Will tomorrow’s ethereum fork be like the last one? Probably not.
· A new approach to blockchain identity gets $3m funding. Biometric.
