LUGANO, Switzerland, Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Jelurida is proud to share the reports

[https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/dlt/Pages/default.aspx ]

of the International Telecommunication Union

[https://news.itu.int/itu-issues-guidance-blockchain-adoption/ ] (ITU-T)

Focus Group on Applications of Distributed Ledger Technology (FG DLT).

Beginning in January 2019, a team of experts from Jelurida [https://www.jelurida.com/ ]

led by Skylar Hurwitz and including Lior Yaffe, Alberto Fernandez, and Francisco

Sarrias contributed written sections of reports and attended numerous collaborative

meetings with international stakeholders in the telecommunication and distributed

ledger technology (DLT) industries.

The ITU's Standardization Process

The ITU-T is the specialized UN agency responsible for exploring developments

and issuing standards recommendations in the fields of information and

communication technology (ICT). In 2017, a dedicated focus group was launched

to research emerging DLT technologies and use cases spurred by Bitcoin's development

nearly a decade earlier. After two years of public input from dozens of contributors around

the globe, the Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG) will send each

report to one of the 11 active ITU Study Groups for up to one additional year of review

before releasing official DLT standards recommendations for the ICT industry.

Throughout this process, functioning technologies pioneered by Jelurida,

including child chains and stateless smart contract execution, have been defined

as concepts warranting formal definitions. Perhaps the most noteworthy mention

came in Document 2.1 where Ardor received a brief mention as an example

of the rising class of platforms offering hybrid solutions allowing businesses

to permission their own blockchain as needed while utilizing a public permissionless

network for transaction validation. Anyone interested in reading the reports can find

a brief summary and link to each report below:

Document 1.1 Standard Taxonomies and Definitions - Learn baseline terms that

allow the industry to begin speaking the same language.

Document 2.1 Use cases and Applications - Explore more then 50 use cases that

were submitted to the ITU for review. Discover the key value propositions and

barriers to adoption for DLT in various use cases across the ICT industry.

The section on crypto-collectibles even mentions Tarasca, a digital trading card

project being built on the Ignis child chain of the Ardor platform.

Document 3.1 Technical Reference Architecture - Review a technical reference

architecture for DLT systems. After collecting mapping documents of more than

a dozen different DLT platforms, a series of generalized architectures were created

to better understand the commonalities across system designs so that future

projects can better approach interoperability. The full Ardor platform mapping

document can be found in the Appendix.  

Future Publications

The next major written publication featuring Jelurida's products will be a book

from Donau University of Krems in early 2020. There is currently a public,

open call for contributions on blockchain and the gaming sector focused on

the Ardor and Nxt platforms. Details can be found on the university's website

The deadline for submitting chapter exposes is the 31st of October 2019.
