🔴 Live Reporting: It’s a wrap……and what a couple of days it has been! Along with Jana Mackintosh and the judges we are thrilled to announce the winners of the Regulated Liability Network (#RLN) hackathon hosted in collaboration with UK Finance at our #EYFinTechLab. The innovation, creativity, energy and collaboration displayed by all participants was truly inspiring. So many great ideas coming from the teams: 1. Giving money purpose, ensuring earmarked money is used for the allocated purpose, such as green energy projects 2. Using the RLN to reduce the steps in a payments flow, which opens the door for previously unlockable value 3. Driving flexibility whilst delivering usability by giving users the ability to lock and unlock money when key milestones are met The fabulous judges were tasked with the difficult job of selecting their favourite ideas, but we’re delighted to announce: 🏆 1st Place: Kaleido - A groundbreaking solution delivering interoperability between assets and regulated liabilities, using RLN programmable assets for trading tokenized bonds on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks 🥈 2nd Place: Commerzbank AG - Secure locking and unlocking of funds as milestones are hit, generating predictable cash flow management and operational efficiencies for commercial bank payments 🥉 3rd Place: SETL - With their very practical location-based payments, their solution would smooth processes in car parking payments and tolls 🌟 Notable Mention: Millicent Labs - Targeting the use of RLN to drive interoperability with public blockchains A huge thank you to all the participants and mentors who made this event such a success. We look forward to seeing the continued impact of these innovative solutions on the future of digital assets and payment innovation. Stay tuned for more updates and congratulations to all the winners! A special thanks to the six judges who has the unenviable task in making the decision to select the winners Jana Mackintosh, Peter Left, Tony McLaughlin, Jonathan Donovan, Lee Braine, Peter C. and Dan Moore #FinTech #UKRLNhackathon #EYFinTechLab
