On December 21st, the Final Round of FISCO BCOS Blockchain Application Contest (China) was held in Shenzhen, China.

The first prize went to Project JustSign, the joint product of JustKey and Forms Syntron. Changhong Information Security Lab’s IoT Trusted interconnection solution won the second prize.
The Contest aimed to discover and present practical consortium chain projects, thus improving the public exposure of advantages of consortium chains, such as experience evolution, boosting efficiency, cost savings, mutual trust, data transparency and clear responsibility.
