VAKT and Chainlink Connections Anonymous Thu Sep 20 14:02:46 2018 No.11149482 [Reply] [Original]

>"LONDON – JUNE 18, 2018 – VAKT, an independent company focused on creating an industry-wide post-trade processing platform for commodities through blockchain, announced today its launch and strategic alliance with Deloitte and ThoughtWorks. Moving beyond the proof of concept stage, VAKT is now creating a production blockchain platform to digitise the global commodities trading industry. By managing physical energy transactions on a distributed ledger, VAKT aims to create a secure, trusted ecosystem for counterparty interaction, with anticipated gains in cybersecurity, operational efficiency and trade finance.
The platform will focus on post-trade processing to create a single source of truth for the trade lifecycle, eliminating reconciliation and paper-based processes. The first production version of this platform is currently under development and is expected to be operational by year end. The platform will be sequentially introduced in three markets - North Sea crude oil, US crude oil pipelines and Northern Europe refined product barges with additional markets to be added in 2019."

>"John Jimenez from BP was appointed as VAKT’s interim CEO. In addition to Jimenez, further senior appointments to the management team include Adam Vile, Chief Technology Officer and Lyon Hardgrave, Vice President Product and Business Development.
Commenting on the new venture, Jimenez said “The response following our initial announcement has been overwhelming. Distributed ledger technology affords us the opportunity to completely transform the way counterparties and other actors in the supply chain interact. However, for blockchain to succeed, a technical solution alone is not sufficient; it requires a substantial network of users. No alternative solution combines the breadth of process coverage, market exposure and trade flow that defines VAKT, and the industry clearly recognises our unique proposition”"

>"Here’s one for all the legal blockchain and smart contract fans out there – in what is a major coup, global law firm Clyde & Co has today announced that it will be providing legal services to new global banking and energy blockchain platform, Komgo SA.
Komgo is a ground-breaking consortium of leading banks, trading houses and energy companies that will ‘digitalise trade and commodity finance processes through a blockchain-based open platform’.
The consortium members are a who’s who of major European and global players: ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Citi, Crédit Agricole Group, Gunvor, ING, Koch Supply & Trading, Macquarie, Mercuria, MUFG Bank, Natixis, Rabobank, Shell, SGS and Societe Generale, (as pictured above).
Clyde & Co will provide legal support to Komgo through its smart contracts, and blockchain consultancy Clyde Code (see Artificial Lawyer feature here) – which is an extremely nice piece of work to have if you want to be at the cutting edge of this tech and working with major clients who take blockchain very seriously. So, well done to Clyde Code!"

Oil, energy, banks creat Vakt an new blockchain

the blockchain platform will be developed in partnership with ConsenSys, a global formation of technologists and entrepreneurs building applications, infrastructure, and solutions on the Ethereum network.

“The potential that distributed ledger technologies (DLT) have in transforming the commodities sector is clear as evidenced with the success of the Easy Trading Connect experiments” said Toon Leijtens, Chief Technology Officer of komgo.

“Komgo will be an open financing platform, changing finance processes around commodity financing. This will increase efficiency and reduce risks and costs. The platform is designed to be connectable to other commodity platforms,” said Karin Kersten, Head of Trade and Commodity Finance at ABN AMRO.

What I mean exactly, by the way, when I say "I need help"
I need people to google search these names, check their LinkenIn connections, search you tube for podcast appearances and business conferences and roundtables(these are crucially under-viewed and people are so candid in these I cant emphasize these enough)
I need people to look on medium,com to see if these people post, what they read and who they follow and whp follows them. Twitter, FB, GitHub.

follows a lot of usual breadcrumbs: swift, szabo, artificial lawyer, various insurtech players vaguely connected to link (dan makoski, florian graillot - he's also followed by etherisc, black insurance, d1), consensys/lubin, monax, digital asset/hyperledger/R3, also followed by gilbert 'caucasian hustle' quant
nothing interesting but he's surely aware of link and oracles
