The deep blockchain expertise, in addition to specific supply chain use cases for distributed ledger tech that Insolar brings to the table, will advance BiTA’s mission of creating solid standards and furthering blockchain adoption throughout the transport industry,” noted BiTA President, Chris Burruss.

BiTA is creating standards with the intention of creating a common framework that can assist industry participants with their organization’s decision to develop and adopt blockchain-based technologies. Members of the alliance are creating a forum to develop a dialogue around blockchain in transportation.
