1.Techbureau
The Techbureau company is currently developing private block chain "mijin",
The company is now conducting demonstration experiments for mijin with various companies(Infoteria Corporation
SAKURA Internet Inc. Lock-on Bank).
The characteristic of the company is developing mijin by applying the public block chain called NEM.
These core developers are the same engineer.
As a result of demonstration experiments, mijin have processing power of 100tx/s 8,000,000tx/d.
This processing power can easily handle the volume of business of the local bank.
Also they carried out an experiment of hacking.
As a result, that proves Impersonation transaction can not be executed by a system stopping.
Apparently government of a country seems to have asked for construction of the system of the central bank for 500 million yen to techbureau.
4.Dragonfly fintech
This company develops public block chain NEM and provides payment solution to the financial institution.
And it run "TEPS" providing the following service (Transaction Ecosystem Platform Solution).
・"ACES" Service to automate the payment and clearing on interbank.
・"BCAIB" Efficiency of the on-line banking and ATM service of the digital money with the block chain.
・"CDAPI" The service which can connect a payment system and POS of existence easily.
・"DIMONEX" Exchange for digital tokens such as Japanese yen, the dollar.
In other words, the service are similar to a currency port.This company provides automation and cost reduction service for the thing which entailed a vast cost so far (escrow business,etc.) by using block chain NEM and existing financial system.
Example of the escrow business:
In case of The transaction to which a dollar is sent from Mizuho Bank and The transaction to which a Japanese yen of the same value is sent from American bank, Those can't be finishing at the same time because of a problem of the time difference and the business hours.
When a one side sends money first, a loss occurs on the remittance side if a receiver become bankrupt.
Also because they cannot make a deal immediately, It have exchange rate fluctuation.
Therefore they entrust money to the third party called the clearing house once and when each other's remittances were completed, a clearing house remitted to both sides that until now.
In future when Mizuho Bank and an American bank signed the business engagements of the remittance,
The service where a remittance is carried out at the same time is provided by using a block chain and the smart contrast.
A clearing house becomes unnecessary by this.
Difference between NEM and ethereum is;
When using ethereum, It's necessary to write a program on the ethereum to issue a token by ethereum and It is necessary to build the smart contract from a base,
therefore more time is required in order to understand and implement it.
In case of NEM, Token issue is completed in around three hours to only set based on rule.
In other words, ethereum can put the application designed freely on it.However, a bug is easy to occur to produce programming.
The NEM facilitates token publication in the structure called the mosaic, and a bug does not happen in this layer.
This depends on difference in the thoughts of NEM and ethereum.
The Ethereum aims at building a system of newly various business on the huge platform of the block chain.
The NEM aims at putting an existing system and the advantage of the block chain together.
Similar opinion of the companies is It's the folly to destroy all financial systems of existence and when a programming becomes a lot after all, the bug occurs, so a bank doesn't have to use that, It's important to link an advantage of a system of existence with a block chain.
