Isle of Man started testing blokcheyn

Isle of Man Government has announced an experimental test pilot blokcheyn platform, designed to ensure the safety of the devices connected to the Internet of things.

blokcheyn solution prototype was developed in collaboration with the startup Credit. The platform allows you to assign unique identification numbers to physical elements of the Internet of things, thereby confirming their authenticity.

"The idea is that the IoT assigns a unique, unalterable identification number of the elements, and blokcheyn enables the management and conservation of the identity data," - said co-founder Credits Nick Williamson.

Collaboration startup Credits with the Department of Economic Development o.Men began in May 2015, when the island government announced a joint blokcheyn-project on creation of the registry kriptovalyutnyh companies conducting their activities on o.Men. Then start was called Pythia, and Credits was developed protocol called them. The company later changed its name to Credits.

Administration of the Isle of Man has repeatedly stated its commitment to develop innovative technologies and to become a center for bitkoin- blokcheyn and startups. "Technology can change our ideas about reality - and we want to take the place of the leader," - said head of digital commerce in the Ministry of Economic Development Brian Donegan.

In 2014 the island was launched incubator for startups kriptovalyutnyh, which included six companies.

Credits was established in London in 2014. In April 2016 launched its own platform Credits BaaS (Blockchain-as-a-Service, Blokcheyn-a-service). In early August of this year, she was appointed the first official provider blokcheyn services for the UK Government. "We look forward to working with public sector institutions in the UK to improve their efficiency performance of their services to the British taxpayer," - commented on the appointment of Williamson.
