At the moment, most physical objects cannot interact with blockchains or smart contracts. Your car can’t pay for gas or an electrical charge on its own, and that box of highly controlled medication, being shipped by truck to a hospital, doesn’t carry along with it a location history that proves — beyond all doubt — that it came from an ethical lab.

But what if you could connect physical items to the blockchain, turning them into Internet-connected devices that could communicate and transfer cryptocurrency, value or data?

Anyledger, a Berlin-based company, has figured out how to link the physical world to the blockchain. ANY blockchain.

Their answer? An embedded hardware wallet that will turn almost anything into an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device.

But that location data, the special sauce needed to create an unimpeachable chain of custody, is our department.

Introducing our partnership with Anyledger.

They’re bringing the wallet. We’re bringing the location data. Everybody wins.

Anyledger’s use-cases are largely industrial. Customized blockchain solutions to make international shipments and audits more transparent. Solar farms that can use Anyledger to buy and sell electricity. IoT devices that can be connected to the blockchain to ensure device authentication, lifecycle management, and more.

But we’re happy to deliver the location data they need, so they can build the blockchain wallet for the world of tangible things.
