Diamante Blockchain Meet Highlights the Spectrum of Opportunities of Blockchain in Diamond Industry

Counterfeits, conflict or blood diamonds, minimal documentation, and murky transactions are some of the major problems plaguing the centuries-old diamond industry. Issues related to the traceability of diamonds and other loopholes in the manufacturing and trading affect the global diamond industry.

However, things are looking on the brighter side with the advent of blockchain technology. The Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a chance to bring more traceability and order in the diamond trade. Diamante Blockchain has been spearheading that cause for quite some time now. Taking a step ahead towards that goal, the diamond blockchain consortium hosted an August seminar at the Golconda Ballroom of Hotel Trident BKC, Mumbai. The seminar brought together representatives from banks, industry leaders, and stakeholders under one roof and introduced them to the revolutionary Diamante Consortium.

Diamante Meets 2019

The initiative “Diamante Meets 2019: Facing the Future – Together” was organized according to Genesis Block, USA, and HashCash Consultants (California, USA). Chirag Jetani (Chief Operating Officer), Erik A Jens (Ex- ABN AMRO CEO & Chief Financial Expert), Samuel E Proctor (Chief Regulatory Advisor), Raj Chowdhury (CEO of HashCash Consultants and Banking & Blockchain Advisor at Diamante Blockchain), Prasanna Lohar (DCB Bank) and Mr. Sudhin from SBI were the key speakers who shared their insight on the basic structure of Diamante Consortium, and the potential of blockchain and its future in the diamond industry.

“Technology and innovation go hand in hand and also helps a lot in the sustainability of an industry going forward,” said Erik A Jens.

According to the Chief Regulatory Officer of Diamante, Samuel E Proctor, “Fintech is going to make the diamond industry better by making the business move faster, move cheaper, and make things more transparent, which is a win for everybody involved.”

The event aimed to present a blockchain solution into the present corporate payment structure and line of credit model.

Diamante Blockchain – Corporate Payments

Let’s take a quick look at what Diamante Blockchain offers to the industry, using decentralized ledger technology.

The Diamond industry is spread across continents, making business complex and time-consuming. Going by the traditional modes of cross-border payments, the money goes through various exchanges, making it very hard to trace. That can be solved by DLT, which is a digital system that records the details of every transaction happening in real-time and keeps all the parties involved in the loop about the movement. There is zero involvement of any central authority, as all transaction happens and is recorded independently by the participants or the nodes in a network.

Diamante Blockchain has launched a B2B corporate payment network that allows hassle-free cross border transfer of funds. The transaction happens faster and a fraction of the cost that is usually charged by the banks and exchanges. It also makes it easy to track the payment, thus preventing any act of fraud.

The seminar gave a brief insight on the whole process and the benefits of Diamante’s corporate pay. It was an absolute success, considering the phenomenal response it received from all the attendees.
