According to a report published by
Tech Circle, IBM has been initiating numerous blockchain projects in India and across the globe. The tech giant had confirmed recently that it is currently working on almost 400 blockchain projects with 63 customers along the likes of shipping giant Maersk, food and beverage firm Nestle, and American retailer Walmart.
Reportedly, IBM had teamed up with a gold and diamond consortium for a blockchain project which aims at tracing the finished pieces from the mine to the jewelry outlet. The private blockchain named TrustChain would track six styles of gold-engagement and diamond-engagement rings in the initial phase of the project. This would help customers to verify whether the product includes blood diamonds or conflict metals.
Concurrently, the tech giant is also assisting Walmart to put its food suppliers on the blockchain technology. Moreover, the Salon Media Group has also joined hands with non-profit AdLedger and IBM to build a blockchain pilot project that would achieve more transparency for all ad payments of the internet journalism firm, cite sources familiar with the development.
