Smart Contracts

Smart Contracts allow for a variety of new digital business models. They use the functionality of the blockchain to establish automatically running business relationships.

With the help of Smart Contracts, identities can be clearly identified. This can be relevant, for example, when a milestone has been reached in a supply chain, which then triggers a downstream process, as is the case with Trust, Track & Trace.

Business relations completely without third parties

One of the strongest arguments for the block chain technology is the high degree of transparency paired with unalterability and secure revision of the data. The sovereignty of the data always remains with the owner. Thus, the blockchain technology eliminates a central mediating instance reading the data exchange and storing the data in its own system according to its own standards. The transactions can be executed directly between two or more - even unknown - parties.

The role of the mediator, the trusted instance, is played by a smart contract that defines the rules of the game. Designed as a distributed app, interaction with the smart contract is possible from anywhere and does not require a central cloud platform from a provider, because the transaction data is stored directly in the blockchain in encrypted form.

dbcp – Decentralized Business Communication Protocol

The Decentralized Business Communication Protocol, or dbcp for short, is a communication protocol in the interaction space of decentralized, open ecosystems.

The protocol was developed within the framework of a joint research project funded by the Thuringian Ministry of Economics, Science and Digital Society. In addition to Join GmbH, LINDIG Fördertechnik GmbH, Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT), Cooperative State University Gera-Eisenach (DHGE) and the Ernst Abbe University Jena (EAH) were involved in the research project.

After the protocol has been developed and tested within the research project, it is available to any company.
