Blockchain technology remains one of the hottest trends among financial, governmental and commercial organisations worldwide. ForkLog offers an overview of the most interesting recent initiatives.<\/p>\n
The English Football League Two club West Bromwich Albion has entered into a partnership<\/a> with SecuTix to launch the blockchain platform TIXnGO and the SecuTix 360 initiative.<\/p>\n The solution will enable fans to purchase tickets, while the club’s management can run marketing campaigns. The blockchain will ensure security in purchases amid the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n The club will cut costs through electronic tickets and cap resale prices. The blockchain will also verify the COVID-19 vaccination certificate.<\/p>\n The non-profit Heifer International and tech giant IBM have implemented<\/a> the IBM Food Trust blockchain in Honduras.<\/p>\n According to Heifer’s study<\/a>, private coffee farmers lose up to 59% of potential profits due to a number of intermediaries in the supply chain. From producer to shop shelf, beans pass through cooperatives, traders, roasting, and sometimes caf\u00e9s. Farmers are left with minimal profits.<\/p>\n The blockchain will enable recording and storage of data on coffee production and shipments, reducing the number of intermediaries. As a result, Honduran farmers will earn more.<\/p>\n The startup Coadjute launched<\/a> in the United Kingdom a blockchain platform designed to help real estate firms exchange data on housing sales.<\/p>\n The first deal on the Coadjute Network was the purchase of a house in Kent, England. The blockchain serves as the linking hub for exchanging documents and coordinating the parties to the transaction.<\/p>\n The non-profit E-Livestock Global, in partnership with Mastercard have implemented<\/a> the Provenance blockchain to track beef supplies in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n Each cow will carry a unique tag that registers it and its owner on the platform. The blockchain stores vaccination records, veterinary care and other health metrics.<\/p>\n The initiative will help Zimbabwe revive its beef export market, which was hit by a tick-borne disease in 2018.<\/p>\nHeifer International and IBM have implemented the IBM Food Trust blockchain in Honduras for coffee farmers<\/strong><\/h2>\n
