We have developed a financial technology platform for securing and streamlining financial transactions (the “Platform”) that utilizes blockchain technology to provide payment assurance and liquidity through a finance supply chain. Our Platform makes use of smart contracts, as programmatic representations of the terms of a legal contract between transacting parties, to affect automated financial settlements (account balance computations) to the supply chain participants. The Platform was developed in response to a need to transition from the current payment process down the supply chain (typically triggered by a manager or trusted party) to a more modern protocol that mandates simultaneous payment of all component and sub-component suppliers when the primary party makes a payment into the supply chain.
