TORONTO, Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Graph Blockchain Inc. (“Graph” or “Company”) (CSE: GBLC) is pleased to announce that the company has secured a contract through its distribution partner to deliver a prototype blockchain data management solution for Hyundai Motor Company (“Hyundai”) and IBM Global (“IBM”), for approximately CAD $250,000. This is the 5th contract through IBM this year, totalling more than CAD $1.6 Million.

The contract was secured, in addition to an earlier contract for Hyundai Corporation, as previously announced, in combination through an associated company, Datametrex AI Limited (“Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G), on March 27th 2018 and May 25th 2018, respectively, detailing the negotiations (click here for more information) and contract signed (click here for more information).

The prototype project will focus on enhancing Hyundai’s data monitoring systems, utilizing Graph’s Blockbed Modules (“Blockbed”) for the solution development, which is a key component of the Private Blockchain System framework. The Blockbed assembly provides for rapid development of a blockchain solution that is customizable and scalable.

Graph has recently received approvals for two patents in relation to the company’s Private Blockchain Systems, as announced on November 16 2018 (click here for more information).
