DALLAS February 09, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Hedera Hashgraph, the enterprise-grade distributed public ledger, today announced the public availability of the Hedera Token Service (HTS), a new Hedera network service that offers users the ability to issue and configure tokens on the Hedera platform, taking full advantage of Hedera Hashgraph's native performance, security, stability, and governance. HTS offers a faster and more efficient alternative to smart contract token creation, and is based on the emerging industry standard Token Taxonomy Framework from the InterWork Alliance.
"Today, digital tokens are being designed for all kinds of economic activities," said Mance Harmon, co-founder and CEO of Hedera. "Tokenization of a huge range of assets will make traditional financing operations and interacting in marketplaces faster and less costly, fundamentally changing the existing processes for purchase order financing, obtaining loans for working capital, buying insurance, securing inventory financing, and invoice factoring. Tokenization will provide the foundation for enterprises to use distributed ledger technology (DLT) in routine business transactions, thus driving significant acceleration in enterprise adoption."
NEW YORK, September 21, 2020
(WALL STRET JOURNAL) A startup aims to open the diamond market to investors through standardized coins containing a carefully selected sample of the precious stones.
Diamond Standard Co. is scheduled to sell its new coin through a $25 million offering on Sept. 28, the company said. The aim is to create the equivalent of a standard gold bar—a new benchmark for an industry that has struggled with the challenges of valuing esoteric stones in an opaque market.
New commodity products often struggle to attract a large number of investors. But if it is widely adopted, the coin would introduce a new way of trading diamonds and another source of demand for the stones, which have tumbled in price as jewelry consumption sags during the coronavirus pandemic. It could also enhance steps taken by industry participants to modernize in an era of clearer pricing and supply-chain traceability.
Hedera Hashgraph Consensus Service: Live on the Mainnet
NEW YORK, February 13, 2020
In June of 2019, Hedera announced its plan to build its Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) — the announcement included a webinar hosted by Hedera Co-Founder Dr. Leemon Baird, detailed blog posting, and a whitepaper authored in-part by IBM. Since then, Hedera has been hard at work building this new service to get it into the hands of application developers.
We’re excited to share that the Hedera Consensus Service is now available on the Hedera mainnet. It offers developers the ability to create verifiable timestamps and ordered events for any application. HCS utilizes the native speed, fairness, and security of hashgraph consensus, with the trust and governance of the Hedera public network.

OpenCrowd CEO Sushil Prabhu Discusses How Blockchain Can Address the Limits of AI in New TechTarget Article
NEW YORK, March 28th, 2019
The problems associated with AI are different [than those facing blockchain]. AI needs data to operate, but getting good data can be problematic. For instance, hackers can alter the data a machine is trained on with a data poisoning attack. Collecting data from clients is also problematic, especially in light of data privacy laws such as Europe's GDPR. Finally, most of the data needed for effective AI is owned by large organizations, such as Google and Facebook.
"This limits innovation in AI and its broader use for social good, as these organizations only focus on commercial uses of AI," said Sushil Prabhu, CEO of OpenCrowd. "The barrier for smaller firms in AI is very high, as data is not available."
But Prabhu believes there is a solution: "Blockchain can solve the data availability issue in AI by democratizing data access and enabling incentive models for owners to share data."

Originally Seen in PaymentsSource
Blockchain has failed to live up to its considerable hype, but the technology is evolving, and the payments and fintech industries need to evolve with it.
Over the next 12 months, there will be a substantial increase in the blockchain transaction speed, as well as a reduction in transaction cost.
This will inspire the development of real-life end-user applications aimed for daily use. Transaction speed, cost and scale have all been major hurdles in both enterprise and general mass scale adoption of blockchain-based technology. The tech community has been working on several platforms, including Hedera Hashgraph and EOS, to solve these issues, with very promising outcomes.
