VINchain is the first decentralized and 100% transparent automotive data marketplace in the world! Our application will help save the disappearing second-hand car market.

Nowadays it’s extremely easy for a dishonest person to modify information for their own benefit, and your loss. Information is not verified by providers and is usually out of date. When you’re buying a car, one of the biggest purchases in your entire life, it’s vital to be sure that it’s worth the money you’re paying and that it’s absolutely safe for you to drive. If you’re not buying what you agreed to, you could potentially be risking your hard-earned investment or even your safety.

Due to these factors, we have created a system that will solve all current problems with vehicle history. VINchain is creating a worldwide blockchain registry of used vehicle information that is 100% transparent, reliable and accessible by all. The blockchain will guarantee that vehicle data has not been falsified, changed or deleted.

During the process of development, in addition to the flexible API, a mobile application, business solution and system will be created for dealers, insurance companies and manufacturers.

Our platform is an open system, so anyone can join and benefit from our network. VINchain will provide you with 100% reliable and accurate information about the car you’re considering for purchase, so you can be absolutely sure that you’re getting your money’s worth and that it’s safe to drive!

The answer to this challenge must be based on a truly smart grid which will be able to optimize the complex energy flows and will rely on transparent real-time energy data for its operation. In such a smart grid the value of distributed generation and storage can be recognized and hence, rewarded.

SOLUTION/PRODUCT:
i) Pylon Network’s blockchain algorithm is the first decentralized, open-source code designed specifically for the needs of the energy sector.
ii) Pylon’s core code is integrated into smart energy meters (METRON), which are now able to perform instantaneous payments for electricity transactions through Pylon Network’s payment method – automated, secure and without intermediaries.
iii) P2P transactions on the blockchain through METRONs offer the opportunity of tracing (and choosing) exactly when and where your electricity comes from – by certifying the origin and cost of electricity to the consumers.
iv) The decentralization and high granularity of the energy data offers the transparency and trust among all the energy players and can hence play the role of a cooperation platform – a shared, transparent database on which value can be traced and hence, fairly rewarded.
v) The open source license ensures that its access remains open and that anyone can use the blockchain code to develop and integrate their existing smart meters – or any other energy tool (charging stations, energy datahubs etc.) – into Pylon Network.
Blockchain:The development of a blockchain code designed specifically for the energy sector, with the integration of different technologies from the field of blockchain, (atomic swap, lighting network ..) – is what really makes this platform unique. Compared to competitors, Pylon Network addresses the specific (and loud) problems of the energy market as well as those that are blockchain-related – namely, security, scalability and energy/carbon footprint.

In our opinion, the competition fails to deal effectively with these constraints and peculiarities of the energy markets and the blockchain technology. The most typical example (which has recently received a lot of criticism) is the energy consumption associated with Bitcoin- or Ethereum-based algorithms, on which all our competitors rely on, for building green energy platforms – ironically.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:
**Energy Traceability ** – Know -at any moment – where your electricity came from and where your money went to!
* * Hardware Integration** – With METRON smart meters installed at the consumer/prosumer level.
* * Unlock the smart grid** – Real-time, decentralized energy database.
* * Open Source license** – Fast and cooperative development. Flexibility, connectivity, and adaptability.
* * Environmentally friendly algorithm** (“Green Mining”) – Decentralized security and trust with the development of a mining algorithm with minimal energy demands and carbon footprint.

Based out of San Francisco, Chronicled is a technology company that is developing solutions that bring trust, efficiency and automation to the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences industry. Chronicled is the custodian of Mediledger, an open and decentralized Blockchain-based network that connects trading partners and enforces cross-organization business rules without revealing private or competitively sensitive data. Mediledger currently facilitates solutions in the Supply Chain and Revenue Management functions within the Pharmaceutical industry.

Driving the future of enterprise supply chains

Imagine a world where trust between enterprises is never in doubt. Imagine entire supply chains that circle the globe and yet are always completely secure for the customers they serve, wherever they may be. And finally, imagine a world where collaboration isn’t just a means to an end but is built-into the very fabric of a fully decentralized network of industry partners working together to solve shared issues – without the burden of traditional siloed systems and without loss of data privacy.

This is all possible today with the decentralized supply chain networks and protocols designed and facilitated by Chronicled.

We’re on a mission to bring entire industries onto our industry-driven and operated ecosystems. Not only to unlock the collaborative ROI and exponential benefits that those networks can bring to our enterprise partners, but also to reinvent the way enterprise supply chains are operated across major industries in the world so that they can be more trusted, sustainable, secure, and automated.

Building the future

In 2014, Chronicled founded the IoT and Blockchain Lab. This collaborative space was designed to drive research and develop standards for the integration of IoT and blockchain technologies.

Then, in 2016, we made this code open-source to a community of blockchain enterprises and start-ups. This fuelled the development of the Trusted IoT Alliance, which supports the creation of secure, scalable, interoperable and trusted IoT ecosystems on a global scale today.

In 2018, we renamed the Lab the Enterprise Protocol Lab to reflect our increasing emphasis on technical R&D to design unique protocol-driven solutions to solve multi-stakeholder problems with full privacy on the ledger. Some of our protocols do continue to involve IoT devices, but we have put greater and greater emphasis on building privacy-protected enterprise protocols of all kinds, which is reflected in the renaming of the Lab and our growing team of smart contract engineers and applied cryptographers.
