Samsung SDS unveils ‘Deliver’ – a platform connecting different blockchain platforms

Samsung SDS last week unveiled a platform that connects Ethereum blockchain and Hyperledger Fabric, Business Korea reported.

Dubbed “Deliver,” the platform has been jointly developed with the Port of Rotterdam Authority and ABN AMRO Bank. It connects different types of blockchain platforms and allows users to run apps for Ethereum as well as Hyperledger.

By connecting different platforms, Deliver supports a number of functions such as document notarization, double payment prevention, and asset transfer, among others.

"The Customs Clearance Blockchain System at the Korea Customs Service is based on Hyperledger Fabric, while Rotterdam Port in the Netherlands is using the Ethereum Platform," said Han Seung-yeop, a manager at Samsung SDS. “We started the Deliver project to connect different platforms."

Samsung SDS is already using the platform and has successfully delivered information on containers which left Korea for the Netherlands to the Port of Rotterdam via Deliver.

Currently, the platform is used for export clearing. However, Samsung SDS plans to expand the use of the platform by implementing similar projects with other European countries. ABN AMRO Bank is planning to use Deliver in financial services.

Samsung SDS also aims to support apps developed with various blockchain platforms, such as EOS, through the platform’s development going forward.

"We will be able to connect other platforms such as EOS as well as the Ethereum platform through Deliver," Han said. “Deliver will be the starting point of a trust society based on super-connected chains where different blockchains are interconnected on the Delivery platform."
