Slock.itSlock.it – OperationsProduct Development and Consulting Services

IOT LAYER… solves the problem of efficiently connecting

IoT device to the blockchain and adds the necessary features for it to become usable to

non-blockchain developers working on IoT systems. It is highly interoperable with other

devices and completely decentralized.

INCUBEDA Trustless, Stateless, Incentivized

Remote Node NetworkINCUBED is a network of remote nodes

which are incentivized to always give the right response and stateless remote clients which

are able to validate the results by itself.

USNWith Slock.it’s Universal Sharing Network,

Airbnb apartments become fully automated, smart objects can be rented on demand and

unused vehicles get a new lease on life. We’re developing the future infrastructure of the

Sharing Economy.

CONSULTINGWith Slock.it consulting services, we enable companies of different

industries to integrate our blockchain technology expertise within their products, giving them a definitive competitive advantage in the Human-

to-Machine, Machine-to-Machine and Machine-to Human economy.

We enable Blockchain Technology for Real-Life-Applications!
