Elrond partners with Trappist Monks brewery to reduce e-commerce fraud

Elrond is proud to announce the partnership with Trappist Monks from the Saint-Shardus monastery in Belgium, to enhance the e-commerce division managing the demand for some of the world's most coveted beer.

To celebrate the implementation of an efficient solution for their long standing problem, the monks decided to launch a limited edition of their 11.4k% dark ale as "the Internet-Ale blockchain", which can be already ordered on the Saint-Shardus website.

"We found kindred spirits in the brothers, because just like the Elrond team, they too constantly deliver. Completely unrelated, we placed numerous orders with the new blockchain-enabled process, to iron out (burps) any errors." concluded Daniel Serb, Head of Business Development at Elrond.
