Blockchain and Cannabis: From Seed to Sale

Blockchain and cannabis are two of the most exciting emerging industries in modern times. Both are constant topics of discussion in media and politics on national, state, and local levels. 

The blockchain is where the true value lies in cannabis, though. Supply chains are desperate for blockchain technology, and it’s no more apparent than in the legal medical and recreational cannabis industry. Seed-to-sale tracking is mandatory, and each state has different requirements and a different system of record. The cannabis supply chain can easily be disrupted by the right blockchain if they play their cards right. 

Using blockchain technology, cultivators can input details about each crop: e.g., the date the flower was harvested, pesticide levels throughout the growth cycle, and information about cross-pollinated plants. The data can be stored and verified via blockchain, and instantaneously shared with all parties on the blockchain platform. These parties can be other members of the cultivation team, cultivators in different facilities, potential retailers or producers, and even end-use consumers. This data will travel with the flower from seed to sale.

When the product is ready for pick-up from a grow site, the blockchain platform can verify that a distributor is licensed. Implementing blockchain can therefore prevent unlicensed distributors with fabricated paperwork from stealing goods. The platform will also maintain all records of a transaction or series of transactions: e.g. shipping manifests, receipts, purchase orders, lab results, etc. Blockchain can also help ensure that products are being properly labeled. When a label is created, a photograph or file of the label can be uploaded to the blockchain. Members of the blockchain can verify that the label is correct before it reaches the product.

Because all information recorded in blockchain is verifiable by other members on the platform, blockchain will remove the need for tedious paperwork at each step in the supply chain. Cannabis will be able to move freely from licensee to licensee without any added hassle. Regulators will gain a streamlined audit tool, and customers will be able to ensure that they are only getting the best and safest products. Ultimately, blockchain can improve the overall integrity of the track and trace system, and minimize the time it takes for the product to get from seed to sale.

The industry saw an uptick in innovation as a result. No longer confined to the edge of the economy, innovators in the cannabis space are taking on challenges that the still-budding industry has yet to solve. From product quality assurance to consumption-related law enforcement, their work is cut out for them. Innovators in the cannabis industry are using blockchain to explore how products can be safer and processes more efficient. Enthusiasts are linking up on cannabis-specific, blockchain-linked social networks. Expert horticulturalists are passing along their knowledge to novice growers on blockchain-powered platforms. Financially-minded innovators are creating solutions for countless unbanked dispensary owners. Combined, these developments represent the growing impact of blockchain technology in the world of legal cannabis.

However, among those projects, CannaCor is one of the most viable cannabis crypto projects that passed across our radar so far. Many, like MCAN Coin, Pot Coin, Cannabis Coin, or Hemp Coin, are focused on crypto payments in cannabis. Cannacor, aside of the payment solution, will also focus to implement sustainable production facilities and expansion of cannabis with the integration with blockchain technologies to ensure transparency, immutability and real-life tracking. 

Established in the Kingdom of Lesotho, CannaCor aims to become global leaders in cannabis research, cultivation, processing and distribution, as well as the implementation of blockchain technologies for purposes of cannabis life cycle and supply chain management. They aspire to lead, legitimize and define the future of the industry by building the world’s most trusted blockchain based cannabis company.

This venture includes the establishment of a unique aquaponics cultivation and production facility for medical cannabis in Lesotho to supply the global market. The CannaCor cultivation facility will produce products such as: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinoids (CBN) and Tetrahydrocannabinol Acid (THCA) in various strengths and combinations.

In addition, the CannaCor team comprises of professionals with a wide range of experience and expertise in blockchain technology, systems development, marketing, finance and project management covering the many areas required for a successful project.

FRED ENERGY: Blockchain Based Green Energy Projects

You may have heard about Wiebe Wakker, who set off on a trip from the Netherlands to Australia in an electric car. It took him more than 800 days to reach his final destination in his 2009 Volkswagen Golf, which had its petrol engine and fuel tank replaced with a 37 kWh battery, giving it a range of 200 km. His journey smashed records for the longest distance covered in an electric car.

But, if you were on a tight schedule and didn’t want to rely on other people’s generosity to offer you a plug to charge the car, like Wakker, you would need an established charging infrastructure along your route. The electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure market is, undoubtedly, building up momentum in a bid to cater to the thriving global EV market. In its latest report, GTM Research estimates that by 2030, the share of electric vehicles (EVs) in total new car sales will be 11%, up from currently around 3%. In comparison, BloombergNEF said earlier this year that it expects to see EVs comprising 28% of all new car sales by this time. By 2050, meanwhile, it predicts that 55% of new car sales will comprise EVs, thus resulting in 33% of the global car fleet being electric.

As the market for EV’s is growing, so is the market for EV charging infrastructure. GTM Research states that the global EV charging infrastructure will reach 40 million charging points, also by 2030. Resulting from this large-scale infrastructure development, a range of stakeholders in the energy and grid operating business are collaborating, and developing new business models to participate in this growing market.

One of such a project is FRED Energy. Leveraging a public Stellar blockchain as a transaction layer, the company intends to enter the EV charging station market. The main objective of the project is to implement EV charging stations to meet a growing demand of consumer needs now and for the future.

The company plans to partner with electric and solar Tuk-Tuk suppliers and purchase a number of vehicles to create brand exposure. Each vehicle will bear the FRED Energy logo and will target Tuk-Tuk taxi drivers located in city and tourist areas in Asia, namely Thailand, Vietnam and China and will set the stage for project Energise.

In addition, FRED Energy will also provide a marketplace for all thing’s alternative energy products of FRED Energy partners. It will eventually include home and commercial EV chargers, solar panel systems, electric and solar tuk-tuks, consumer wind turbines and other related gadgets with payment options to include FRED Energy tokens and other cryptocurrencies along-side traditional methods.

The financing of this open source project will take place via a token sale event. Currently, the FRED token can be bought through FRED Energy Website. 

Token Details:

Token Name: Fredenergy
Symbol: FRED
Decimals: 18
Blockchain: Stellar

In addition, FRED Energy team comprises of professionals with a wide range of experience and expertise in blockchain technology, systems development, marketing, finance and project management covering the many areas required for a successful project.

If users are interested in a specific product, they can buy the product or service advertised in the video by clicking on the "Buy" button and paying XRM tokens directly from their wallet to the customer's wallet.

Content Creators

Video creators can upload their videos and specify prices on a per-view basis only. Users interested in viewing premium content may pay the specified cost, then immediately they may have access to the video. This allows content creators to sell video lessons at high prices, for example.

Video creators can also create paid channels. Users can pay a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly subscription fee for that channel. 

Ads embedded in each video. Video creators can specify which videos are free to watch, supported by ads (not based on subscriptions). However, users can also launch the video as a "free advertisement" and place a donation button below the video. Viewers can support creators by sending them XRM tokens.

Users

TLS Group: Investment in Green Cryptocurrency Mining

One of the major demerits of blockchain mining is that is requires high energy levels and computing capabilities. This mostly affects bitcoin miners, as the energy consumed is very high compared to the rewards they receive from mining. Bitcoin mining faces monopolization by computing farms because the miners, with their home computers, cannot compete with the powerful mining devices that are in mining farms.

TLS Group believes that use of renewable energy in mining is a step forward in the attainment of a cleaner world and profitable investment.

TLS Group Objectives

TLS Group seeks to solve high energy level and computing capabilities problem by implementing the use of renewable energy sources to carry out computations during mining of Cryptocurrencies. Examples of renewable energy sources include wind energy, solar energy, biofuel, and geothermal energy. 

In this case, TLS Group investment vehicles are based on green solar energy. The solar-based systems maintain efficiency using CSP- technology from their partner, si14. These systems are able to generate energy several times greater than normal PV ( Photovoltaic ) technology. With the integration of the new tracking and servo based system, the panels are allowed to adjust themselves according to the position of the sun. All of this new and improved technology translates to a larger KW of energy at some of the lowest prices in the market.

The use of solar energy source will result in a cleaner environment because of reduction in global warming and reduced greenhouse gas emission into the atmosphere. The use of solar energy sources for mining will also reduce the electricity expenses that miners incur during their activity, which means that they will earn more profits.

Another effect of using renewable energy sources in computations is that it simplifies the bitcoin mining price to a computer capacity value, which will increase the number of equipment and people performing computations. Due to this increase, there will be increased transactions on the network, improved security level, and bitcoin will become more competitive than other technology in the market.

Acquisition Of Funds

TLS Group aims at obtaining funding through its Security Token Offering in order to launch the project. The goal of the STO is to collect funds for use in researching ways of increasing efficiency of plants that can generate renewable energy. The STO also seeks to collect funds for use in the generation of renewable energy through installation of wind power plants and solar collectors.

The platform will share and spread this idea using the TLS Token. TLS token is a security token built on the Ethereum blockchain and ERC20 token. The total supply is 2 billion TLS tokens, and 99.99% of tokens are available for sale, the team will receive only 0.01% of tokens. The tokens not sold after the STO will be burnt. So, it is predicted that TLS token will be more valuable in the future, since the product is already needed and the number of tokens is limited. The STO is currently live and you can buy the token at the price of 1.3$.

Once enough funds are collected, the vehicle will start moving and investors can expect a dividend of 40% allocated on a pro data basis.

Why Invest In TLS Group?

Once you invest in TLS group's green energy scheme, you are provided with a smart contract that specifies five major points

1. Transparency: Extreme transparency is maintained on the balance of tokens as well as all the transfers. All the information is available for the investors and can be tracked in time.
2. Ownership: The token holders must be ethereum users and contractors. Transfer of tokens among users will only be processed only after direct instruction of a holder or transferee.
3. Supply of tokens: It is pertained to only three users, a contract holder and two managers of the company.
4. Contract management: The contract holder may waive the transfer of tokens between users if he sees it as fraudulent. He can also waive ownership of tokens from a user, under complaints from other users.
5. Miscellaneous: There is a maximum allowable quantity of tokens that can be circulated. There is also a feature of the burning of tokens, enabling the user to void of the remaining tokens.
