U.S.-based mobile cryptocurrency wallet BRD recently announced it has formed a partnership with enterprise-grade distributed public ledger platform Hedera Hashgraph. BRD reported that through the partnership Hedera’s native cryptocurrency, HBAR, is now available in the BRD consumer wallet. BRD is now supporting Hedera’s ongoing mission to deliver faster, more scalable, and secure distributed ledger technology (DLT) for enterprises globally. BRD further explained:
“In addition to the integration in the BRD consumer wallet, Hedera’s network data will be supported in BRD’s recently launched enterprise-grade blockchain data integration platform Blockset, which powers the BRD consumer wallet.”
BRD then noted that Blockset provides a suite of ready-to-use tools that facilitate the building of cost-efficient blockchain applications and which eliminate barriers to entry. Hedera’s integration into Blockset will enable read and write functionality, which means companies are not only able to read data but also transact on-chain through Blockset’s API. Speaking about the partnership, Mance Harmon, CEO and Co-founder of Hedera Hashgraph, stated:
“By including HBAR in BRD’s consumer wallet, we are exposing our technology to millions of users globally. BRD is a bonafide industry leader, with an unrivaled track record in bringing seamless usability and ease of access to the digital assets space globally. With Blockset, the BRD team is also making significant inroads as a prominent driver of enterprise adoption. We are excited to be able to leverage the elite Blockset suite of tools as a means of gaining exposure within the enterprise ecosystem.”
