Use case: The Benefits Of Blockchain & Aventus Network For Supply Chain Management
Right after Financial services, Supply chain management is the most discussed application of Blockchain technology.
Subjects such as trust between multiple parties, automated actions and payments, proving identity, a shared and open database, and a connected network, are key areas where Blockchain technology stands as the sole industry leader.
Forbes notes that the process of moving the global beef supply chain to a shared, distributed ledger could potentially save billions of dollars in the U.S. With blockchain technology, you don’t have to trust that the data is accurate.
Companies with Supply Chain Management needs that are first to act will find themselves at a distinct advantage in the race to control oversight, costs, and logistical efficiencies at scale.
That’s why Current Walmart is to hire cryptocurrency and digital currency product lead, Dole Plans to Use Blockchain Food Tracing in All Divisions by 2025, and why IBM is working on blockchain solutions for food supply chain management.

A Technical Update on AvN NFT Functionality
In the last update we mentioned that the tech team had begun preparation for introducing NFT functionality to the AvN mainnet, upgrading the AvN to version v0.6.0 “Draco”, requiring a forkless upgrade.
The work centred around stress testing, key management, payment integration and testing.
Stress testing: with respect to high volume transactions and a wide array of attack scenarios.
Key management: The back-end automated creation of AvN keys for successful NFT bidders.
Payment integration and testing: FIAT functionality and new request from the current client, EOS.
Well, we have some news on that that we’re very excited to share soon, so watch this space…
