Block Relations x ATARC
The benefits of this partnership are multiple, not only are we afforded the platform to introduce our clients and prospects to a bevy of relevant federal employees from groups such as GSA, IRS, DHS, NIST, NASA, and United States Air Force, we are also given an arena to conduct research and provide recommendations as to which public or private blockchain technology should be applicable to various use cases. The value of this involvement will prove to be instrumental for our clients and partners alike.
Some of our meetings and events detailed demonstration of 4 use cases for blockchain technology such as Electronic Voting, Cloud Infrastructure, Healthcare (COVID-19), and Encrypted Messaging/Video. We have brought on prospects as guests to demo their products from Voatz, Electis NGO, and IBM. We have also begun work on a whitepaper that outlines an ideal technical solution for electronic voting using blockchain as a part of the tech stack.
