What We Do

We leverage Blockchain Development & Consultancy Services

A blockchain is a growing list of records called “blocks” linked by a peer-to-peer network, using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. By design, it’s a distributed ledger network resistant to modifying that data. 

Blockchain can potentially enhance security, speed and operational efficiency for banks and Fintech companies in such key areas as payments, asset management, loyalty and loans. It can also resolve bottlenecks within regulatory processes such as Know Your Customer (KYC), fraud and Anti-Money Laundering (AML). At Softjourn, we are blockchain experts in the following five platforms:

Ways We Use a Blockchain

Smart Contracts

Smart Contracts

Forget manual labor. Smart contracts are computer programs that digitally facilitate, verify and enforce the negotiation, which saves time and money. Part of a decentralized system, they require no human support. These transactions are also trackable and irreversible.
Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies

The future of cryptocurrency is evolving. But we do know that cryptocurrency, along with the distributed ledger technology that supports it, will play an important and permanent part of financial services. And we’ll be there to help our clients take full advantage.
Ethereum

Ethereum

Ethereum is an open-source, public-access, blockchain-based computing platform featuring smart contract functionality. Based on our experience, it offers these advantages: a) it’s the most developed solution and easiest to use; b) third parties do not have to provide contract functionality; and c) a large community supports this blockchain ecosystem.
Quorum

Quorum

Quorum is a blockchain platform and an enterprise-focused version of Ethereum. It’s ideal for any application requiring high speed and throughput processing of private transactions within a permissioned group of known participants. Quorum handles specific challenges when using blockchain technology for the financial industry and beyond.

Blockchain Development

Design Thinking
Design Thinking

When working on new projects we use a design-thinking approach based on collaboration between developers, designers and users. This process applies the following:

  • Empathize. Understand the problem.
  • Define. Put the data together and describe the problem accurately.
  • Ideation. Prepare for action.
  • Prototype. Make a touchable version of the product
  • Test. Check that the prototype looks great and works well.

Design thinking is a proven process that helps give life to your ideas.

Custom Development
Custom Development
Are you considering a blockchain-based solution but don’t know what to do with it? 
For new apps, coins or services opportunities, how much do you need to build and show to investors or potential clients on board, or to just start selling? How do you grab the interest of speculators, technology bloggers, early adopters or journalists? What will separate your company from the crowd?
 
If these scenarios sound familiar, you might need a Proof of Concept (POC), Prototype or Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We understand the need for all types of solutions and how to minimize time and cost of implementation. With our support as a trusted partner, you’ll increase revenue by improving or introducing new services.

What We Provide

Extensive Domain Knowledge

Extensive Domain Knowledge

Softjourn has been exploring blockchain for years, doing internal proofs of concept and working with banks to leverage this ecosystem. We help our clients understand why they should use blockchain and what works best for you and your organization.
Latest Insights

Latest Insights

Fintech is growing rapidly. Conferences are a great way to keep up on the hottest trends, hear from experts and understand the latest technologies. We believe keeping up-to-date with fintech is essential, especially for those who work on blockchain projects. So actively attending these events is also critical.
Creativity and Innovation

Creativity and Innovation

We actively help our international clients apply blockchain to address business challenges. As advocates, we even launched our own blockchain product called SJ Coins (built on Monax, a private Ethereum-based blockchain). The coins are used in our snack vending machines. With a staff of more than 200+ developers, the machines are in constant use. Soon we will expand SJ Coins to help underwrite social projects suggested by employees.
Expert Talks

Expert Talks

We’re exploring blockchain as part of our Softjourn Expert Talk Series. Here, we connect with global tech and business to keep us forward thinking. Recently, we invited Dr. Andreas Freund of Tata Consulting Services – a passionate advocate and authority – to discuss a realistic path to blockchain adoption. We also spoke with Dr. Neil Wasserman who combines an analytics-based consulting practice with teaching graduate students at George Washington University. He also leads their Blockchain Pilot Lab for Global Health.
