In 2017, Shaw used more than 3.5 billion plastic bottles in the manufacturing of its carpet.

Chronicled Launches Enterprise Protocols Laboratory

Protocols Developed In Chronicled’s Enterprise Protocols Lab

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Chronicled, Inc., a technology company that provides blockchain solutions for physical assets and enterprise supply chains, today announced the launch of the Enterprise Protocols Laboratory at its San Francisco headquarters. The purpose of the Lab is to foster the development of innovative protocols to help real-world companies interface with blockchains and blockchain smart contracts.

“Privacy is of paramount importance to enterprise businesses,” said lead blockchain engineer Maksym Petkus. “It is easy to imagine a situation in which several parties need to interact on the ledger and still preserve privacy within a multi-party contract. We designed the Lab with this privacy in mind.”

Chronicled has been an innovation leader in protocol development since its inception in 2014 and will contribute its talent and resources to the Lab to continue innovating and driving development of these protocols.

“We started out in 2014 with our Blockchain-IoT lab, and in the course of building protocols we realized that companies need blockchain interfaces that go beyond IoT devices,” said senior engineer Allen Sogis-Hernandez. “So the Enterprise Protocols Lab can be seen as an expansion of that scope into a broader universe of enterprise blockchain applications.”

In 2017, Chronicled contributed its early IoT protocols — developed between 2014 and 2017 — to the Trusted IoT Alliance. Since then, Chronicled has developed a library of enterprise protocols, including: Confidential Chain of Custody, Physical Chain of Custody, and Revenue Management. Currently in development include Industry Master Data Management, Unified Identity Registration, Streamlined Contract Management, Automated Chargeback Processing, Clearing and Settlement of Credits, and Rebates Program Management. One of Chronicled’s differentiators is its emphasis on fully privacy-protected protocols leveraging internal technical capabilities with zero-knowledge proofs and applied cryptography.

Protocols Developed In Chronicled’s Enterprise Protocols Lab

Chronicled is rapidly expanding its Lab and is currently hiring for the following roles. Potential candidates should contact Greg Clayman, Director of Talent, at [email protected].

Senior Engineer, Cryptography
Senior Blockchain Engineer

·         Honda Pilot jumped 50.2% in September on sales of 15,464 units.

·         CR-V sales topped 30,000 units for the month, just shy of another record.

·         With gas prices topping $4.00/gallon in parts of the U.S., sales of Honda electrified vehicles continue to rise, with Accord Hybrid, Insight and Clarity Plug-in Hybrid combining for nearly 6,000 September deliveries.

Sales Highlights

Model Notes

The new RDX continued to break sales records and combined with strong MDX sales to set a new September record for Acura trucks.

·         RDX set its 4th straight monthly sales mark since launching in June. Sales totaled 5,699 for the month, a gain of 54.3%.

·         Acura’s flagship luxury SUV, the MDX, turned in another strong performance with sales of 4,643 units in September.

·         The refreshed and re-energized 2019 ILX goes on sale later this month.

 

The refreshed 2019 ILX completes the first phase of the Acura brand design transformation with all core models sporting the signature Diamond Pentagon Grille and an A-Spec model.

 

Acura’s revolutionary True Touchpad™ Interface is a hit with RDX customers and won praise from the editors at Ward’s, who said it’s “everything you could want in a user experience.”
