Billion
Billon unleashed transformational capabilities of blockchain technologies with a high-performance enterprise system unifying national currency transactions, documents and identity management on a DLT built for scale. We went behind initial principles of blockchain by creating a new protocol which is ultrafast, fully secure and ready to use within existing regulatory frameworks and institutions. We first designed our system to transact micropayments at scale by encrypting national currencies, but our vision expanded to lever the ability to put documents on-chain and manage identity and data access rights. As a result, Billon is uniquely suited to deliver business results to banks, corporates and individuals in a regulatory compliant manner Billon was founded in the UK in 2015, on the basis of a previous research project developed in Poland. Its unique DLT protocol has been supported by many R&D grants, including the EU Horizon 2020 program. Billon is licensed to issue electronic money in the UK and in Poland and employs a global team of more than 80 professionals across its offices in London and Warsaw. In November 2018 the company won the world's largest fintech festival in Singapore, organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, showcasing a solution to zero-cost blockchain micropayments. |
