How to Run a Local Chain Being inherently a public database, the blockchain itself is not suitable for storing sensitive data. Private blockchains are blockchain systems that are limited in access and controlled by certain participants or organizations. Having a number of advantages over the traditional blockchain concept, local blockchains allow more flexible use of new opportunities. Do you want to use blockchain in your organization for document management? Maybe you are a developer who wants to test your smart contract in a more private environment? With Concordium, this becomes much easier. To read more, click here

Concordium x Bank of Memories The idea of Bank of Memories stems from deeply personal circumstances. When Iryna Savytska and Andrii Melanchik, now COO and Co-Founder of Bank of Memories, found out that Andrii’s mother had Parkinson's disease, they began to search for a trusted, convenient, and quick way to save memories and important information about her. They found their answer in blockchain and founded Bank of Memories. Despite huge external challenges, neither COVID-19 nor the outbreak of war could derail the project. Concordium seeks partnerships with resilient projects that deliver value and real-world use cases, and we are thrilled to integrate our privacy and identity technology with Bank of Memories.
