SettleMint, the Blockchain Transformation Company, proudly announces its pivotal role in fortifying KBC’s Bolero Crowdfunding platform with blockchain technology.
Bolero Crowdfunding: Pioneering Innovation in Finance
Launched in 2014, Bolero Crowdfunding established KBC as the inaugural bank insurer and online broker to introduce a crowdfunding platform. In a recent collaboration with SettleMint, KBC has undertaken a significant overhaul of the platform, strategically integrating blockchain capabilities to enhance both efficiency and scalability.
Blockchain Integration Objectives: Optimizing Bolero Crowdfunding
KBC’s objective was to infuse blockchain technology into Bolero Crowdfunding, forming a crucial aspect of their optimization strategy that involved asset tokenization. The collaborative efforts of SettleMint and KBC have materialized this vision, utilizing SettleMint’s Blockchain Transformation Platform’s full-stack capabilities to construct and seamlessly integrate the blockchain-enabled Bolero Crowdfunding platform.
Matthew Van Niekerk, CEO and Co-Founder of SettleMint, expressed pride in supporting KBC’s ongoing innovation. He highlighted the transformation of Bolero Crowdfunding from a web2 to a blockchain-enabled platform, citing its alignment with various blockchain initiatives initiated by KBC.
Advanced Smart Contracts: Enhancing Flexibility and Functionality
A significant aspect of this upgrade involved the customization of the EIP-2535 Diamond Standard smart contract template from SettleMint’s platform. This customization aimed at offering heightened flexibility compared to other smart contract standards. The smart contract template serves two primary purposes: enabling the creation of tokenized bonds and facilitating atomic swaps for seamless cross-chain investments and coupon payments.
