The last two weeks were very intense — not just because it is time to distribute UTN at last, but because we already have multiple cases of Universa Blockchain deployment, which are expected to finally boost our performance figures :)

We will write a separate big post with instructions and first options for applying our blockchain this Saturday. For now, here are our achievements of the two weeks starting June 17.

Moscow // Business Development

In Moscow we continue working on the pipeline of our current projects, gradually completing the contract finalization phase, which will allow us to publicly announce what we have done so far.

For now here is a list of cases still in the works

Blockchain as a Service for a telecom operator

for a telecom operator Decentralized production using blockchain technology

using blockchain technology Currency sales and purchasing using distributed ledgers technology

using distributed ledgers technology Land register management automation , transparent tenders for real estate and non-permanent retail facilities, digitization of infrastructure networks

Organizing a transparent system for electric energy metering

Creating a platform for socially active population , efficient interaction between representatives at various levels of administration

If you know someone in need of these or similar cases, please let us know.

Innoprom in Ural Area — Ekaterinburg

We are working very closely on preparing a big event. We will have a big stand and a presentation at Innoprom international retail exhibition — http://www.innoprom.com, July 9–12 in Ekaterinburg, where we will present our cases. If you happen to live in Ekaterinburg, we will be happy to meet you over a coffee.

New month — new region, Kenya.

This time our most active token holders invited us to pay an official visit to Kenya. We held a first round of negotiations there and agreed on another visit for a closer discussion. We also talked to Kenya Bankers Association and local bank representatives (I&M Bank). We are preparing proposals on implementing blockchain with everyone we’ve met during the trip. When we are back to Nairobi in early August, I think we will open a local office to expand our presence in Eastern Africa.

I&M Bank would like to evaluate our ability to deliver blockchain solutions

International Arab Banking Summit

Speaking to such a high-level panel of Arab banks and Central Banks was quite a challenging task, as not everyone in the audience had a general understanding of what blockchain is and why this is a technology that can change the world. As a result, when the presentation was over, we had a very vivid discussion of the future of financial services, which resulted in more foreign trips scheduled for late summer and early autumn, where regulators or Central Banks invited us to discuss digitization opportunities for their existing financial structures. This was a very fortunate event for us. Our first visit to Bahrain will take place in July. Then it will be Oman, Lebanon and Jordan.

Office days

It is hard to write something exciting about these. Sometimes you just have to get down to work :)

Other news

Work continues now on further structuring of the company and the foundation. We are really strive to meet the 100 days timeline. But there will be no pictures about that :) Flights, lawyers, paperwork. Nothing interesting.

a critical error corrected in resync

a prospective vulnerability corrected in split/join
