Limitless scalability, decreasing costs, rapid integration

The limitless scalability of the nChain protocol means e-Livestock is a truly global solution that can support farmers, all while decreasing costs as they scale.

Today it’s thousands of farmers. Tomorrow it will be millions.

Why blockchain?

e-Livestock is integrated with nChain by a simple API. This records cattle data on the BSV blockchain via nChain’s Kensei platform.

Recording data on chain provides data integrity proving in an indisputable way the history of vaccination, treatment and health of each animal.

This gives transparency to all stakeholders from banks to beef buyers, while also allowing farmers to receive payment automatically.
