Blokusign
is the first-ever tool like this to integrate directly into Gmail as
an add-on application. The product fuses electronic signature
technology, which has become the new definitive in documentation due
to its simplicity, with the benefits of the distributed .
Blokusign offers the same frictionless experience as existing
electronic signature applications, while supplying better
authentication and record keeping through technology.
Consumers can use Blokusign without having to learn any new
behaviors.
Incumbent electronic signature systems rely
on centralized organizations to maintain, manage and authenticate
documents, which is an unreliable, time-consuming and potentially
expensive process that leaves parties at the mercy of e-signature
companies which may be unresponsive or unable to locate records.
Blokusign decentralizes all these tasks, allowing users to
authenticate and prove the providence of a signed document
immediately. The full platform is expected to be up and running by
the end of the year or early next year. While was the first
platform on which Sagewise launched, they have also started working
on Hedera Hashgraph and are open to other platforms as well.
Founded
in 2017, Sagewise is a technology company focused on the efficient
resolution of disputes involving smart contracts. Sagewise has
developed a product comprising a smart contract safety net for
users. The company’s proprietary SDK, released in April
2018, provides the tools and infrastructure needed for the effective
handling of disputes at any stage in the development and execution of
smart contracts, freezing contracts in place while they are being
resolved. Sagewise’s mission is to provide peace of mind to all
parties to a smart contract, ensuring that the outcome of a
endeavor is consistent with the parties’ true
intent.
Sagewise is currently focusing on five use cases –
supply chain, financial services, digitized assets, consumer
marketplaces and ICOs. These are high impact areas where solving
smart contract challenges could lead to high .
Sagewise’s vision is to build a fully-functioning plugin
solution that allows smart contract users to achieve their true
transactional intent, including the ability to resolve the disputes
that will inevitably arise around smart contracts as they are bound
to arise from any form of human interaction. Sagewise can “freeze”
a smart contract in place while disputes are mediated. It can devise
several forms of resolution depending on the preferences of the
parties involved and on whether dispute resolution was built in to
the original contract. Our goal is to provide peace of mind and the
expectation of an equitable outcome for transactions – a
toolkit to make sure smart contracts are doing their jobs. The safety
net provided by Sagewise is intended to grow into a full suite of
capabilities that will be indispensable as the crypto space expands.
Disputes
around offerings are a problem; disputes around smart contracts
that underpin entire supply chains are a crisis.
We are building a platform that addresses the enormous future of
, a future in which broad mainstream is a reality
and the integrity of contracts is paramount.
Sagewise has
always been platform-agnostic and is open to using other blockchains
outside of Hedera Hashgraph and . Their technology is a
middleware layer solution that provides infrastructure for smart
contracts, which enables them the freedom to work interpretably with
a variety of other protocols.
