Every day, new and innovative products emerge within the tech sector, but it is far less often that a mechanism is introduced that completely turns the world of technology on its head…

Blockchain, the latest in disruptive technology, not only benefits the technical world, but its many diverse applications can revolutionize a variety of industries including medicine, sustainability, transportation, and even animal welfare.

Blockchains are comprehensive, digital ledgers intended to remove the middle-man from economic transactions while maintaining top-quality security and reliability. Due to its highly structured encryption, hackers are unlikely to gain access to the chain.
