As an example of the adoption of blockchain, the author emphasizes eScroll, a revolutionary platform aimed to verify educational and professional credentials. The platform has been recently launched by DagangNet and Luxtag, and is already used by several Malaysian universities. It is a working example of a successful adaptation of blockchain in order to secure valuable documents and prevent their counterfeiting. “At LuxTag, we see ourselves as creators, inventors, and innovators. Dagang Net, on the other hand, is very good at servicing businesses with productized solutions. This is a perfect fit for strategic cooperation,” said Rene Bernard at World Blockchain Summit 2019 in Kuala Lumpur.
