Elrond to Provide the Blockchain Component for the TailPath Supply Chain Management Ecosystem

Elrond’s blockchain infrastructure will be used to anchor supply chain data via the TailPath mobile app, with fast transaction times enabling real time reading and writing of data at negligible fees.

“Blockchain technology is a perfect fit to address the inefficiencies of supply chains. We are pleased to support TailPath integrate their product with Elrond in a native manner, without adding unnecessary complexity via secondary tokens. This will keep the costs for their customers as low as possible while also providing a meaningful use for our ERD token and our overall infrastructure.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
