    We've heard that a few times. In the future, there definitely could be usage in other markets. Right now we're lazer focused on our construction customers though:) Competitor wise there are 2 types: -Companies who still use pen an

    Right now, our products are built using Hyperledger Fabric or R3 Corda. In the future, as public blockchains like Ethereum and Avalanche scale and become proven in business use cases, we will migrate over to them, becoming fully decentraliz

    We built on Hyperledger Fabric. I'll explain that piece in the question below......Users in our network can seamlessly become validators and also verify transactions or interact with the blockchain using a block explorer we've bui
