cogint and Dragonchain Announce Strategic Alliance to Combine Powerful Analytics and Intelligence with Leading Blockchain Technology
Alliance Focused on Leveraging cogint's Massive Database, Proprietary Algorithms, and Solutions to Accelerate Commercial Adoption of the Dragonchain Blockchain Platform Across Industries
BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cogint, Inc. (NASDAQ: COGT), a leading provider of information and performance marketing solutions, today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with Seattle-based Dragonchain, Inc. cogint and Dragonchain are collaborating on the implementation of cogint solutions, including asset tracking, identity verification, fraud prevention, and transaction security with the Dragonchain blockchain platform. The goal of the collaboration is to integrate mission-critical business applications with the secure, serverless, scalable Dragonchain blockchain platform to empower businesses of all kinds to adopt the Dragonchain blockchain platform for their daily business functions.
Dragonchain's founder and CEO, Joe Roets, has contributed to blockchain and cryptocurrency projects since 2010, including at Overstock™, Coinbase, Symbiont, and the Walt Disney Company where he worked with Eileen Quenin, current VP Strategic Partnerships at Dragonchain, who has prior experience including GE Healthcare, Amazon.com and LexisNexis®. In 2014, Disney's Seattle technology team set out to develop a blockchain protocol with the goal of ensuring greater data privacy than other enterprise-oriented blockchains. In 2016, Disney made the project open source. No longer affiliated with Disney, Roets and Quenin lead Dragonchain in its expansion of what is now known as the Dragonchain blockchain platform into a variety of commercial applications.
Dragonchain is presently working with some of the country's leading brands to solve complex problems using the Dragonchain blockchain platform. The Dragonchain blockchain platform is believed to have applications for just about any enterprise. Due to its design which makes it difficult to commit fraud, the platform could revolutionize commercial transactions. Unlike the public bitcoin and Ethereum protocols, Dragonchain is a hybrid. This means some information is private, and some is public, providing advantages over other blockchain platforms.
"We are excited to form an alliance with Joe, Eileen and the Dragonchain team," commented Derek Dubner, CEO of cogint. "We are intrigued by Dragonchain's application across disparate enterprises to drive secure transactions. We believe that combining cogint's differentiated abilities to deliver asset tracking, identity verification, fraud prevention, and secure transactions with the Dragonchain blockchain platform will accelerate adoption of the platform by enterprises, as well as instill confidence in counterparties and the investing public in not only Dragonchain but the emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency industries."
"With this powerful combination, we are building blockchain-based identity management and authentication solutions for cross-industry applications and continuing the expansion of our network," said Eileen Quenin, VP Strategic Partnerships at Dragonchain. "We strive to implement privacy, trust and security. This alliance represents Dragonchain and cogint's belief that such elements should be incorporated early in the development cycle to accomplish our clients' objectives."
