HN discussionAt Tierion, we think the inclusion of the NIST Beacon in every Chainpoint 3.0 proof we generate is a powerful feature. We announced that we had started including the Beacon in our new proofs at Consensus in May. The first of its kind. https://tierion.com/blog/chainpoint-innovations-in-blockchai... Its also featured in our white paper if you'd like to read more about how we're using it. https://tokensale.tierion.com/…

Here's a real world example: We recently won the Coindesk hackathon by building an insurance claims processing application that creates an audit trail for the claims process by recording each step in the bitcoin blockchain. Our solution offered two main benefits. First, Tierion generated a blockchain receipt for the initial claim. This gives both the insuranc…
