Nuggets makes Internet of Things move

Blockchain e-commerce payments and ID platform, Nuggets, has announced a partnership with Internet of Things infrastructure company CPChain.

The two will work together to enable secure identity and payments from IoT consumers and merchants. “Nuggets is a consumer blockchain platform with the power to revolutionise payment, privacy and security under the background of GDPR in Europe. Together, we’ll build a more efficient, secure and private platform to exchange data, especially IoT data,” says Wayne Tian, Oversea Operation and PR Manager, CPChain.

The announcement closely follows the news that former Visa Managing Director Kevin Jenkins is now responsible for establishing Nuggets in Europe and for business development.  

The company has made a number of other partnerships in recent months, including agreements with Storiqa, a marketplace for buying and selling goods with cryptocurrencies, and QFPay, the Chinese payment provider that serves 800 million WeChat users and 400 million Alipay users.
