SXSW Pitch Finalist: Winding Tree
The Forrest Four-Cast: February 27, 2020

Winding Tree has created the world’s first open marketplace for travel.

One of 50 finalists for SXSW Pitch 2020, Winding Tree drives the development of open source protocols for the travel industry, starting with ORG.ID, a global registry of business entities that streamlines access to APIs in an automated and secure way without the need for third parties.

Last summer, Etihad Airways, the United Arab Emirates’ national carrier, joined the many airlines and hotels that have partnered with Switzerland-based Winding Tree to bypass intermediaries using distributed ledger technology. These include Air Canada (AC.TO), Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA), and Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), as well as aviation services company Swissport, and hotels such as Nordic Choice, citizenM Hotel chain, and Airport Hotel Basel.

Winding Tree’s platform allows travel industry businesses like airlines and hotels to publish available inventory to those customers directly, avoiding intermediaries’ fees, which ultimately means lower costs for consumers.

See the pitch in the category of Blockchain Technology, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm Sunday, March 15, before a live audience and a panel of expert judges.

Ein Lebenszeichen für dich, nullcoiner:

Hahn Air, market leader in airline distribution, is the first airline that issued a real-world ticket enabled by blockchain technology on the open-source travel distribution platform Winding Tree.

Ich war ja damals vom Preis für 1 LIF abgeschreckt. Aber beim aktuellen Preis vom 10 cent sieht es ja schon wieder anders aus.

Edit: auf btc-echo auch: https://www.btc-echo.de/ueber-den-wolken-hahn-air-verkuendet-blockchain-jungfernflug/

OT: Habt ihr schon mal gesehen, wieviele Cookies btc-echo auf deren Seite hat? Da wird einem ja schwindelig.

Die nationale Fluggesellschaft der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate Etihad Airways hat eine Partnerschaft mit einer blockchainbasierten Plattform für die Reisebranche Winding Tree geschlossen, um zu erforschen, wie Blockchain im Vertrieb helfen kann.

In meiner Nachverfolgungsliste gibt es u.a. dieses Projekt.

Das Volumen auf Idex ist auf 0, aber die Entwicklung scheint ja weiterzugehen, jedenfalls pflegen sie Twitter und medium.

Ist hier jemand noch investiert oder verfolgt dieses Projekt?

Das kann noch dauern. Aktuell gibt es lediglich einen halbfertigen Prototypen. Mehr Infos in dem letzten Update-Artikel:

Kennst du eine ico wo die Preise nicht stark gefallen sind? Viel interessanter wäre es zu wissen ob man zwischenzeitlich schon reisen mit den tokens buchen kann?

Once we have all of the infrastructure (notifications about data changes) and data ready (remember, availability is still missing), we will work on a production-ready version of Booking and Payment.

Viel interessanter wäre es zu wissen ob man zwischenzeitlich schon reisen mit den tokens buchen kann?

Es wäre echt schön, wenn die Winding Tree Devs etwas aktiver wären, da der Preis seit dem ICO schon sehr stark gefallen ist.

One of the key benefits of blockchain technology, according to SITA, is the ability to have multi-enterprise applications.
These work across multiple organizations locking data immutably into the blockchain rather than having individual applications running separately and exchanging data on a case-by-case
This, it says, is how this technology can provide a ‘single source of truth’ to all stakeholders.
Today, 59% of airlines have pilot or research programmes planned around blockchain for implementation by 2021, which is up from 42% last year.
Similarly, airports also continue to experiment with blockchain with 34% planning R&D projects by 2021.
The most commonly expected use of blockchain for both airlines and airports is to streamline the passenger identification process with 40% of airlines and 36% of airports saying this would be a major benefit.
...
Airlines stated they expected blockchain technology to provide benefits in the roll out of passenger tokens for frequent flyer programmes (34%) and e-tickets (31%).
Airport CIOs have item custody change tracking (such as baggage) (28%) and operational efficiency (24%) as areas that have potential benefits.
In a bid to help drive the exploration of blockchain, SITA announced in June the launch of The Aviation Blockchain Sandbox, a major industry research project to explore the potential of blockchain.

Die Pressemeldung sagt ja erstmal nur aus, dass KLM sich das mal anguckt. Sie werden testen und abschließend bewerten. Die Bewertung kann auch negativ aussehen und sie nehmen von der Blockchain Abstand.
Dem Kurs hat die MEldung aber zunächst mal etwas gutgetan. Obwohl die ja im Gegensatz zum ICO aktuell immer noch Spotbillig sind

TradeLens uses IBM Blockchain technology as the foundation for digital supply chains, empowering multiple trading partners to collaborate by establishing a single shared view of a transaction without compromising details, privacy or confidentiality. Shippers, shipping lines, freight forwarders, port and terminal operators, inland transportation and customs authorities can interact more efficiently through real-time access to shipping data and shipping documents, including IoT and sensor data ranging from temperature control to container weight.

Using blockchain smart contracts, TradeLens enables digital collaboration across the multiple parties involved in international trade. The trade document module, released under a beta program and called ClearWay, enables importers/exporters, customs brokers, trusted third parties such as Customs, other government agencies, and NGOs to collaborate in cross-organizational business processes and information exchanges, all backed by a secure, non-repudiable audit trail.

During the 12-month trial, Maersk and IBM worked with dozens of ecosystem partners to identify opportunities to prevent delays caused by documentation errors, information delays, and other impediments. One example demonstrated how TradeLens can reduce the transit time of a shipment of packaging materials to a production line in the United States by 40 percent, avoiding thousands of dollars in cost. Through better visibility and more efficient means of communicating, some supply chain participants estimate they could reduce the steps taken to answer basic operational questions such as "where is my container" from 10 steps and five people to, with TradeLens, one step and one person.

More than 154 million shipping events have been captured on the platform, including data such as arrival times of vessels and container "gate-in", and documents such as customs releases, commercial invoices and bills of lading. This data is growing at a rate of close to one million events per day.  Traditionally, some of this data can be shared through the EDI systems commonly used in the supply chain industry but these systems are inflexible, complex, and can't share data in real-time. Too often, companies must still share documents via email attachment, fax and courier. TradeLens can track critical data about every shipment in a supply chain, and offers an immutable record among all parties involved.

"TradeLens uses blockchain technology to create an industry standard for the secure digitization and transmission of supply chain documents around the world," commented Peter Levesque, CEO of Modern Terminals. "This initiative will generate tremendous savings for our industry over time while enhancing global supply chain security. Modern Terminals is pleased to participate as a Network Member in testing this exciting shipping industry innovation."

so mal wieder Nachrichten. Winding Tree ist ja seit ICO irgendwie in der Versenkung verschwunden und bei Cointracking bei mir noch 1/10 vom ICO wert
Vielleicht passiert preis-technisch jetzt mal wieder etwas...

World’s Fifth Largest Airline Firm Explores Blockchain to Cut Costs for Customers

European airline holding company Air France-KLM has partnered with blockchain travel ecosystem Winding Tree. The goal of the partnership is to reduce costs for the company’s customers by cutting out intermediaries.

The alliance has revealed the new deal in a release published (https://www.airfranceklm.com/en/air-france-klm-partners-winding-tree-strengthen-innovation-travel-industry-using-blockchain) on its official website Thursday, Oct. 4.

The world's fifth largest air company by revenue in 2018, Air France-KLM hopes blockchain will help it provide "a more advantageous travel offer for customers which is more profitable for suppliers, in particular by reducing the number of intermediaries."...

ist ja ruhig um winding tree geworden und der Kurs ist seit dem ICO auch auf Talfahrt, daher freut man sich auch über positive Nachrichten...
Könnte man als Konkurrenz zu smartcontainers sehen, oder vielleicht schmiedet man da auch Allianzen, bin gespannt, wie sich das entwickelt.

In addition to the cargo handling, Swissport will also apply its blockchain pilot program to its passenger services business by partnering with Winding Tree, a blockchain-based travel distribution platform. The partnership will initially focus on applying blockchain technology to the distribution of classic travel services to independent travelers, such as airport lounge access.
