Q2i - Q1 Newsletter 2020

Commercial Progress with Q2i’s Technology
Fundraising - COVID19 Response

Q2i has been selected by a Swiss bank for a project that revolutionises its data distribution with clients and counter-parties.  The Asset Management project was scheduled to start in Q1 2020, this has been pushed back to Q2 2020.

A distribution and retail company, backed by a very large chemical supply chain, have adopted the Q2i Model to address complex transactions with the core blockchain agnostic platform. The first phase of customer-facing implementation is in the form of a soft launch that has been initiated with orders in March 2020.

Q2i has utilised its JV partnership with FullyFuelled, its Strategic Web Integrator. The partnership demonstrates the seamless client and project choices for implementation.

In parallel, Q2i continue to supply strategic support to the fundraising for an established UK data business. This has delivered strategic advisory and commercial terms for both technical and consultancy services on into 2020.

After the Q419 Q2iD product release, the productised version of the core Q2i technology and architecture aimed at ID management for AML/KYC. Q2iD delivers secure user control of ID data in decentralised environments even when the ID information is propagated to a counter-party. This forms part of the Q2i COVID19 response to HMG.

In addition, the Q2iDataRoom product is released now released. Initial marketing contacts are evaluating the proposition.

Technical Update - Applications & Interoperability

The base version of the blockchain agnostic infrastructure is complete, so delivering multiparty transactions agnostically with blockchain interoperability. Demonstration environments can be shown running on either Hyperledger and/or Ethereum. The latest release of R3/Corda have been revisited to ascertain if improvements now meet the architectural requirements for interoperability.

The technology has been refined for use as an internal transaction data room [Secure data exchange, activity tracking and permissioned sharing]. Product release Q2iDataRoom, Q1 2020

One of the major problems with blockchain is the operational risk and cost of storing large decentralised data sets on the technology. Uniquely Q2i has optimised this and we now have a functional solution for a distributed blockchain filesystem.  This is now demonstrable with: -

  1. Contract data definition, approval and execution in an asset management environment

  2. Secure document exchange in an AML/KYC environment

  3. As a standalone product configuring optimal data exchange

Q2iD product that delivers technology support to the Testing and Lockdown Exit Strategy has been through a "Back to Work Permit" and/or an "Antibody+ Passport" based on the secure Q2iD product.

Fundraising

Initial investments have been used to develop the alpha versions and for commercial development.  Q2i is actively seeking £5m to develop a production environment and deliver commercial solutions. An additional option of £20m investment would be used to fund an investment portfolio of collaborative technology companies.

Q2i has a focus on the objective of monetisable transactions across blockchains. This is incompatible with a single token or ICO path. Each JV could enable the digital asset development path.
