Problem addressed

The application adopted Bitcoin technologies to achieve the objectives of duplicate prevention and traceability for e-Cheque transaction without a centralised repository. In e-Cheque transaction, the transfer of e-Cheque from a payer to a payee shares many similar characteristics of payment by Bitcoin. Utilising Bitcoin technology can fulfil the traceability need of e-Cheque.

Innovation
  • In contrast to most e-Wallets that use a traditional centralised ledger, this e-Cheque app utilises the Blockchain technology which provides a safe and reliable system to eradicate replicated and counterfeit cheques and strengthen corporate’s confidence in e-Cheques.
  • With the help of file encryption and digital signature techniques, authenticity of the digital assets is guaranteed. Each digital asset is uniquely identified on the Blockchain, so the owner cannot resend the same digital asset to more than one recipient.
Key impact
  • If a distributed environment is without a centralised repository, e-Cheques could be transferred from “wallet” to “wallet”. With this project, every transaction is stored on blockchain, transaction immutability, duplicate prevention and traceability/forensics is achieved.
  • It offers trusted and speedy delivery of e-cheques. Issuers may issue digital assets and have them delivered to thousands of recipients in real time.
