BeefLedger is pleased to announce that earlier today we executed a Strategic Investment and Development Memorandum of Understanding with Shanghai-based Blockchain software systems developer LinkeyChain Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd (LinkeyChain).
This strategic agreement will see BeefLedger consolidate its alignment with national food safety and cross border trade regulation priorities in China. We will be working with LinkeyChain and others towards a version 1.0 common standard for the digital validation of cross-border movement of beef into China, in a move that aligns totally with China’s Healthy China 2030 Strategy.
Together with our collaboration with leaders at the China Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, we look forward to laying the foundations for data-driven integrity that consumers can believe in.
By working with LinkeyChain, we will be able to fast track system acceptance with China’s key regulatory authorities. LinkeyChain is a blockchain developer approved by the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
LinkeyChain has also recently launched China’s first ever blockchain-credentialed products digital marketplace. BeefLedger premium beef is now available for direct consumer purchase via this marketplace. The marketplace is directly accessed via the BeefLedger-LinkeyChain blockchain QR Code, scanned from China’s ubiquitous WeChat app. (There are over 1.1 billion Wechat users today.)
A screenshot of the consumer-facing interface, with the hash-value detailed of product information stored on a blockchain, is shown here.
The convenience of WeChat interfacing enables a fast-rack pathway to end-consumer use of the technology. Deepening the “data reach” up the supply chain is part of our 2019/2020 development program. That way, consumers will progressively gain greater visibility to the supply chain journey in meaningful ways.We thank Austrade (Shanghai) for their assistance in pulling together this strategic alignment with LinkeyChain. We also acknowledge the assistance of Trade and Investment Queensland for their longstanding support.
