Proof Dashboard Public Beta Begins Today
We are thrilled to announce that, after months of development and planning, we are thrilled to unveil the public beta for the Proof Dashboard on Blockchain. Proof Dashboard is an asset management platform for organizing, issuing, selling, trading, and purchasing assets ranging from physical valuables to documents to stock issuance of a company. As of now, Proof has been in closed beta with the partners of the Think Consortium on Blockchain, however, we believe it is time to begin collecting feedback, suggestions, and code from whomever may be interested.
Proof is a one stop shop for organizations to manage and deploy value with an added layer of immutable provenance. Furthermore, Proof can be used to build groups of people or groups of organizations and manage the flow of materials between each member. All of these features, and more, are backed our custom sidechain while assets can be deployed on public blockchains such as Ethereum using smart contracts or Bitcoin using the colorcoin open asset protocol. Similarly, Proof allows your organization to tether private chain clusters like Hyperledger Fabric, R3 Corda, and Monax Eris to your Proof organizations, allowing you and your colleagues to verify transactions on any chain.
For now, those are all just words. Why not just try it for yourself? All it takes is a name, phone number, and an email address.
As we hear suggestions from our users, we will be fixing bugs, improving UX and UI elements, and adding exciting features such as a smart contract maker, complex smart contract backed behaviors, an open RESTful API, and full interoperability between other blockchains. For more information on the platform keep reading or check out our whitepaper.
Blockchains
Proof is a blockchain agnostic platform and has been designed from the ground up to evolve-with and include future offerings in the space.
Achieving trust-through-trustlessness and Proof of Provenance via decentralized, distributed, ledgers is the primary focus of the Proof Dashboard team. Starting with asset generation and ending with transactions, the atomicity, lifetime, and veracity of your assets can be assured by a cryptographically secure set of addresses created and secured on an immutable database which tracks and stores data across nodes deployed on almost every continent. However, proof also enables its users to opt out of deploying on other chains and instead wire their account to a custom deployment of a private or public blockchain.
Assets & Accounts
At the core of Proof is its ability to create, trade, sell, and trace assets down blockchains. The management console has been designed with usability in mind and is constantly evolving with user feedback. The front-end team aims for a sense that proof ‘just works’ allowing users to stop fretting about the technicalities of blockchains and get straight to solving business problems and ameliorating pain points for internal operations and customers.
Assets can be created with a few clicks of a mouse while being placed on/off market, made private or public (internal to an organization or not), and backed by either a legal document or smart contract. Possible asset types include:
Contracts
Currencies
Financial Instruments
Intellectual Property
Real Assets
Requests
Legal Documents
Within each category are assets themselves which include and not limited to common stock issuance, debt instruments, ETF’s, copyright documents, patents, auto deeds, and the legal documents themselves which secure ownership and rights.
As of now, Proof allows for assets to be backed and placed on chain through the use of US Dollars, Euros, Ethereum, and Bitcoin.
Organizations
Keep in mind Proof isn’t just for assets. The platform also features a robust organization creation and management system allowing users to create, join, and invite others to join organizations. Whether your compa
