Today digital payments firm Worldline announced it was selected to lead the EU’s TruBlo or Trusted Blockchain project. The research initiative will explore blockchain solutions for trust and reputation, especially in social networks. Additionally, it will investigate proof of location and proof of validity for user-generated content.
Backed by the EU’s Horizon 2020 funds, the project will assess up to 450 proposals over three calls for research. Of those, 45 will receive some funding, with nine to be funded through to completion. The first call launched on January 18 and will close on March 19.
