Modulus has released its groundbreaking Blockchain-as-a-Service offering, an enterprise blockchain for decentralized verification and tracking, featuring cutting-edge AI-based capabilities. Utilizing decentralized blockchain authentication, clients are enabled to prove the origin, authenticity, and integrity of any product or service via immutable digital records that can be accessed and independently verified from across the globe.
“Traditional enterprise blockchain technology creates a cost-efficient framework for supply chain transparency, but the Modulus solution is much more than that,” explained Richard Gardner, CEO of Modulus. “Modulus enhances the typical components of blockchain-based authentication with the addition of its patent-pending artificial intelligence technologies, blending a mix of image recognition and other types of bio-inspired AI together with blockchain technology.
Traditional blockchain-based authentication utilizes a hashing algorithm, which ably handles computer files and documents, but little else. The Modulus solution offers greater real-world application, competently handling the storage of images, video, and audio, storing encrypted data in a secure, immutable Hyperledger blockchain, which may be independently audited and verified at any time.
“The Modulus Blockchain is perfect for proof of product origin, product authenticity, product tracking and delivery verification, service completion verification, security applications, accident investigations, and much more, as immutable evidence is recorded along with timestamps,” explained Gardner. “Most solutions can verify that a document is signed at a particular time. Our solution can verify that a distinct event happened at an exact time, by a specific person in a particular location. It really is next-generation verification in every sense of the concept.”
The Modulus AI Blockchain Verification System is a hosted Blockchain-as-a-Service offering, with its AI-based image recognition system being hosted on custom hardware powered by IBM Power9 microprocessors. The system hosts FPGA-based deep learning convolutional neural networks that perform image recognition in real-time before sending processed data to the Hyperledger blockchain.
“The Modulus System requires little input from our clients. It works without cryptocurrencies, blockchain tokens, or cryptocurrency nodes. They need not even build out and develop their own app. Instead, our solution works with any smartphone, and it can be integrated into Amazon, Shopify, and other e-commerce platforms,” noted Gardner.
Modulus is known throughout the financial technology segment as a leader in the development of ultra-high frequency trading systems and blockchain technologies. Over the past twenty years, the company has built a client list which includes NASDAQ, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Barclays, Siemens, Shell, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Cornell University, and the University of Chicago.
