Combining blockchain technology and the hardware-based trusted computing capabilities already built into millions of devices, Rivetz has developed an ecosystem of security products and services powered by the Rivet (RvT) token. The RvT is an ERC20 token managed on the Ethereum blockchain and provides a new economic mechanism for delivering automated device-to-device payment for the consumption of cybersecurity services and delivery of software and service licenses.

The 2018 BlockAwards celebrate technical innovation, adoption and reception in the Blockchain Industry and by the developer community. The BlockAwards Ceremony takes place during BlockWorld 2018 (San Jose Convention Center), the world's largest Blockchain Developer conference and expo, bringing together the global Blockchain economy with over 3,000 attendees.

The 2018 BlockAwards received hundreds of nominations, and the Advisory Board to the BlockAwards selected developer products and technologies based on three criteria: attraction of attention and awareness, generally positive regard by the developer and engineering community and sector leadership for innovation.
