Success Story: XinFin finances solar plant using Blockchain technology
TradeFinex is their highly scalable, secure & commercial grade Blockchain platform…
A Singapore-based Block-chain Technology Company, XinFin, which focused on international trade and finance across the globe, recently demonstrated the financing of a solar plant using their hybrid blockchain technology.
Speaking at the Confer Global Blockchain Technology Summit, Sameer Dharap, Vice-President – Blockchain Applications and Karan Bharadwaj, CTO of XinFin revealed how project contracting and financing can be powered using Blockchain technology. The simulation involved digitising and representation of the solar plant on XinFin hybrid blockchain. The beneficiary and the financier entered into a smart contract over XinFin blockchain platform and payment in form of XDC tokens was released to the beneficiary towards financing of the solar plant. The IoT (internet of things) integration of the plant provides visibility and real-time reporting of the plant performance. As the power is produced, a wallet transfer is triggered from the beneficiary to the financier towards repayment.
The simulation highlighted that any project including those of natural infrastructure importance can be financed peer to peer without burdening the government treasury. Demand for cross-border finance can be met by greater co-operation between governments and blockchain capital by creating innovative models of finance.
