Over the years, nChain has risen to become one of the world’s largest players in the blockchain sector, and during the first private nChain VIP Club event, attendees learned about the company’s enterprise blockchain solutions and how the Bitcoin SV blockchain can improve their lives. .
The private event was held in Manila, Philippines during the Philippine Blockchain Week, an event where nChain was a key partner. It brought together blockchain experts, movers and shakers from the public and private sectors.
“I have created the nChain VIP Club and the idea is to provide a platform for leaders in this country, in government and business, to come together and network, talk to their peers, exchange ideas and also learn about the massive intellectual property portfolio that nChain can deliver in terms of blockchain technology,” Nicholas King told CoinGeek.
King is the country director for the Philippines at nChain. He also serves as the BSV Blockchain Association Ambassador for the Philippines.
nChain has 2,800 registered patent applications, of which 500 have already been granted. This makes it one of the world’s “largest blockchain patents,” King noted. The London-based company was named one of the world’s 100 best innovative companies last year by LexisNexis.
“I want these people to feel very special and part of the club where they can learn the value that nChain can bring to their blockchain projects. If they talk to us and implement the BSV blockchain, they can get the absolute best value out of their blockchain investment because they’re talking to the organization with the most intellectual property knowledge about it,” King told CoinGeek’s Claire Celdran.
Hosting the first event in the Philippines was fitting, given the country’s meteoric rise as a blockchain hub. Private businesses have shown great enthusiasm for the technology, with national and regional governments also emphasizing blockchain. This adoption is not found in Manila, with the likes of Bataan starting blockchain pilots and supporting blockchain startups.
Making the Philippines a BSV blockchain hub
Apart from nChain blockchain experts, other stakeholders in the BSV ecosystem were also at the event. Evan Freeman, the Director of Education at the BSV Blockchain Association, spoke to the attendees about the value of the organization’s blockchain courses and his plan to make the courses available to Filipinos.
“[We have a] partnership with ecosystem companies from BSV and the academy where students undergo intensive training in the intricacies of blockchain and Bitcoin, he told CoinGeek.
He added that participants will also undergo an incubator-style program where they learn how to create a business using blockchain technology.
Attendees who spoke to CoinGeek marveled at how much the BSV ecosystem has grown and how much they learned at the event about blockchain technology.
Maria Francesca Del Rosario, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Budget and Management, revealed that she had learned a lot about “how blockchain can provide efficient and transparent systems not only for the private sector but also for the government.”
At the event, she learned about new concepts in blockchain that she had never heard of, such as data integrity-as-a-service, she added.
Janelle Barretto, the convener of the Philippine Blockchain Week, praised nChain’s participation in the event, telling CoinGeek, “I know they will take the journey with us for the long term. We have high hopes for the collaboration.”
