We were excited that both OneLedger and Dispatch had partnered with Edenchain in our expedition to connect with the Chinese community!

Shenzhen — 26 August 2018

Despite the recent announcement that Beijing imposed restrictions on conducting cryptocurrency /blockchain-related events, Edenchain still attracted a crowd of blockchain enthusiasts with backgrounds ranging from media companies, advisory firms, government-linked investment firms, VCs and exchanges.



James shared that blockchain is a technology that canYet limitations in existing Gen 2.0 blockchain platforms, such as the lack of scalability and secure interoperability resulted prevented enterprises from adopting blockchain technology.

In addition to high performance and secure interoperability which Edenchain provides, enterprises also need to have some degree of customization, control and privacy. Noting this, James designed Edenchain to be a permissioned blockchain platform, which is a fork of the Hyperledger Sawtooth — the preferred blockchain platform for enterprise users.

Edenchain’s team of 16 talented blockchain developers massively improved on the performance of Hyperledger Sawtooth through optimization with massive improvement in security. That’s right, Edenchain now has 16 developers working full-time on developing the platform!

Hangzhou — 28 August 2018

The event at Hangzhou was oversubscribed by more than 3x the seating capacity of our venue. Because of that, we carefully vetted through the list of registered participants to accept only the leaders in the blockchain community.



At the event, James shared about his personal motivations for building Edenchain. As an engineer with a burning curiosity for new technology, he wants to use technology to improve the lives and shape the future for humanity. As a testament to his passion,

James belief towards technology is that it must generate real value to users to be impactful to society. This is evident from the design of the Edenchain platform, which adopts a pragmatic and holistic solution for enterprise users.

The shortage of qualified blockchain developers in the current market is a huge barrier for enterprises to start adopting blockchain technology. Implementation is a crucial aspect of adopting new technology and qualified developers are needed to execute on the vision.

To overcome the lack of blockchain developers in the market, James built a suite of RESTful APIs to lower barrier to blockchain service implementation. Most developers are already comfortable working with APIs and can quickly learn how to use Edenchain for their enterprises.

The roadshow in Beijing was originally planned to be a massive event with media coverage, but unfortunately had to be cancelled due to recently implemented regulations.



Nonetheless, the Eden team pushed on tenaciously and had fruitful meetings across the Chinese cities with our strategic partners from LD Capital, Node Capital, Genesis Capital, and several other key strategic partners who have shared with us their insights on Edenchain’s listing strategy, the state of the Chinese cryptocurrency markets, and valuable connections.
