Its research addresses concrete questions that arise when blockchain systems interact with established institutions, corporate processes and economic incentives, including data oracles, controlled account access, smart-contract distributions and digital company shares.
The company develops and evaluates concepts, prototypes and technical frameworks. Some work remains experimental; descriptions on this website do not imply that a particular product or service is commercially available.
