Blockchain is the most trending technological term today and is forecasted to disrupt various industries in coming future. The buzz is building up in India as well. Just last week, Mahindra and IBM joined hands to develop Blockchain Solution for Supply Chain Finance. Also, mid of this year, ICICI bank adopted Blockchain in a push for digitalizing banking.
Yet, in the startup space, the activity seems to be relatively muted in India when compared globally. One reason can be that the technology is still in its early days and yet to mature. We presented a tutorial on Blockchain earlier this year.

Trestor is an India’s first blockchain startup, which has created “Trest” a secure, digital, store of value. Using the power of Trestor’s blockchain and their decentralised network of trustless nodes ‘Trests’ can be transferred directly from person to person anywhere across the globe. There is zero transfer fees, Trests are transferred within seconds, accounts can never be frozen and there are no paperwork or limits!

Trestor network is designed keeping under banked in mind. Most think that poor just need a bank account and a payment card and once they get it, they will happily switch from cash to a centralized, freezable, chargeable, hackable payment system that the rest of us use. Maybe we should re-think this assumption. “Maybe what unbanked people really need is digital equivalent of cash instead of our banks and our way of banking”.
