Enterprise adoption of blockchain technology remains extremely limited, primarily as, outside of innovation departments, nobody cares about technology, only the business problems that it can solve. Blockchain is a critical component in all our enterprise solutions but as the backend for creating tokens that enables our clients to solve business problems. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Alphabill (<a href="http://www.alphabill.org" target="_self">www.alphabill.org</a>) is the public blockchain used for all applications - </span>tokens can be created using the Alphabill public blockchain but verified, and acted on, off-chain in real-world applications.</p> </div> <div class="image-field"> <br><div class="edy-texteditor-container image-container edy-positionable-container-left-block" contenteditable="false" unselectable="on" style="width: 830.25px; max-width: 100%; text-align: left; display: block; float: none; overflow: hidden; position: relative;" data-image-id="17858480"> <div class="edy-padding-resizer-wrapper" style="padding-bottom: 59.07%; position: relative; overflow: hidden;"> <picture style="position: absolute; display: block; max-width: none; width: auto; height: 100%; left: 0%; top: 0%;"> <!--[if IE 9]><video style="display: none;"><![endif]--> <source sizes="832px" srcset="//m.guardtime.com/photos/GT_platform_03.svg 904w"> <!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--> <img src="//m.guardtime.com/photos/GT_platform_03.svg" style="position: absolute; max-width: none; width: auto; height: 100%;"> </picture> </div> </div><br> <br> <p style="text-align: justify;">Over the last 10 years we have successfully deployed enterprise blockchain solutions across a whole range of industries, some examples, and links we provide below. The crypto industry is crying out for real world use cases of blockchain technology. Our solutions have been battle-test in production by some of the most demanding clients on earth. </p><h2>Timestamping</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">KSI is an EU-EIDAS accredited cryptographic timestamping service that was developed to address the challenge of data integrity within the Estonian Government, It is the first blockchain-based accredited EU trust service and is used as an alternative to Public Key Infrastructure. The implication is that the verification of issued timestamps does not rely on the security of cryptographic keys. This service is used today in production by governments authorities around the world to guarantee the integrity of archived data. <br>For more information <b><a href="https://guardtime.com/timestamping" target="_blank">see here</a></b> </p><h2>Digital Currency</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Together with eight central banks in the Eurosystem we have contributed to the European Central Bank’s research on the digital euro. Our approach is the first blockchain-based digital currency platform that uses digital bills as a monetary unit (i.e., not UTXOs or accounts). Bills are the only monetary unit that allow for parallel decomposition – the ledger can be divided into sub-ledgers each of which can be updated and verified in parallel. <br>For more information <b><a href="https://guardtime.com/ksi-cash" target="_blank">see here</a></b></p><h2>Token-based settlement</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Every settlement mechanism in the world today, apart from cash, involves messaging followed by reconciliation. This is slow, expensive, and unreliable. SWIFT, RTGS, ACH etc, are all based on accounts and technology invented over 30 years ago. Token-based settlement is like cash in that <b>payment equals settlement</b>. There are no intermediaries and settlement is instantaneous with close to zero friction. The applications range from cross border remittances to the automation of digital securities trading and settlement.<br></p><h2>Pharma Physical Supply Chain</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">We have developed a last-mile supply chain solution for pharma manufacturers that enables real-time counterfeit and diversion detection, liability management against false claims and visibility into pharmacovigilance. Integration into the SAP Information Collaboration Hub enables a digital token to be created for each GS1 code helping front-line care workers verify the authenticity and provenance of pharma products and giving manufacturers real-time visibility into the last-mile. <br>For more information <b><a href="https://guardtime.com/vaccineguard" target="_blank">see here</a></b> <br></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b></b></p><h2>Health-Care Real World Data</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Together with Roche and Astra Zeneca we have developed a real-world data engine that enables pharma market access to get aggregate results of medicine use across a population without revealing any personal information from the health and disease registries. Applications include indication and combination-based pricing, value-based pricing, clinical trial patient enrolment and differentiated rebates.<br>For more information <b><a href="https://guardtime.com/health" target="_blank">see here</a></b></p> <br> </div> <div class="text-field pad-medium"> </div> </div> <div class="f-border"></div> <div class="wrap footer-wrap"> <footer id="footer"> <div class="inner cfx"><a href="/en" class="logo"></a> <div class="footer-content"> <ul> <li>© 2025 Guardtime</li> <li><a href="https://guardtime.com/terms-of-use">Terms of Use</a></li> <li><a href="https://guardtime.com/library">Legal</a></li> <li><a href="https://guardtime.com/trademark-guidelines">Trademark Guidelines</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/Guardtime" target="_blank" class="share-link twitter-share-link"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Guardtime" target="_blank" class="share-link facebook-share-link"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/guardtime/" target="_blank" class="share-link linkedin-share-link"></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="mobilemenu"> <a href="#" class="menu-close"></a> <div class="langs"> <ul class="cfx"> </ul> </div> <ul class="navs cfx"> <li class="index"><div><span></span><a href="/en">Home Page</a></div></li> <li class=" selected"> <div><span></span><a href="/platform">Platform</a></div> </li> <li class=""> <div><span></span><a href="/technology">Technology</a></div> </li> <li class="has-children"> <div><span></span><a href="/research">Research</a></div> <ul> <li class=""> <div><span></span><a href="/research/publications">Publications</a></div> </li> </ul> </li> <li class=""> <div><span></span><a href="/about">About</a></div> </li> <li class=""> <div><span></span><a href="/about/jobs">Career</a></div> </li> <li class=""> <div><span></span><a href="/blog">News</a></div> </li> </ul> </div> <script type="text/html" id="login-modal-tpl"> <div class="dialog login-dialog"> <a href="#" class="dialog-close modal-close">×</a> <div class="dialog-inner"> <h2 class="title"> <strong>KSI Knowledge Base</strong></h2> <p> KSI Knowledge Base is a repository of KSI-related resources for Guardtime customers.<br /> For credential requests please contact us at <a href="mailto:info@guardtime.com">info@guardtime.com</a> </p> <div class="scrollable-box"> <h2>ACCESS AGREEMENT FOR AUTHORIZED USERS</h2> <p>IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE TERMS OF THIS ACCESS AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”).
