Leonid Khatskevych, Head of IoT at 482.solutions and the Ambassador of the Blockchain Association of Ukraine, made a presentation on “Blockchain for Smart Grid and Document Flow”, in which he gave a detailed account of our new platform based on blockchain and IPFS technologies, created for reliable document exchange within companies with high confidentiality requirements.

A busy week, among other things, has also brought us, pleasant acquaintances. CEO of 482.solutions Roman Kravchenko attended a reception at the Swiss Embassy in Ukraine, organized by Distributed Lab for guest speakers of BlockchainUA.
The meeting started in a friendly atmosphere and introduced Claude Wild, Swiss Ambassador to Ukraine, Permanent Representative of the Confederation at the OSCE and the UN.
The Ambassador toured the blockchain ecosystem of Switzerland and introduced the guests to the opportunities and benefits of launching innovative projects. The meeting was a lively discussion on the future of financial and banking systems and the impact of the distributed paradigm and blockchain technology on their evolution.
This is another important indicator of the prospects of P2P architecture in the transformation of traditional approaches and systems.
Traditionally, blockchain developers from all over the country have been striving to make a real blockchain revolution in just 30 hours, creating their own prototypes of new projects.
482.solutions specialists Artem Frantsiian, Yevhenii Babichenko, and Hlib Kanunnikov were mentors of the hackathon and accompanied the participants throughout the event, and our CEO, Roman Kravchenko, evaluated the projects in the jury.
Winners of the general hackathon: the team of Game 3, whose participants made a compiler from Solidity in NearProtocol.
The second place — the project for car accidents, which developed a hardware-sensor to record information about the accident in blockchain, and third place went to the Pulse project.
That’s how productively our team held Kyiv Blockchain Week! We are glad that the blockchain industry is developing rapidly in Ukraine and that there are events that unite all those involved in the technology.
