In Going to Private Blockchains, Templum has turned to Symbiont

Private. Not Public.

Templum Inc. and Symbiont have announced a new partnership. This relationship was formed through Templum’s intent to transition from the use of public blockchains to private ones. They have indicated that they believe their customers will be better served in this manner. The company has pointed out scaling issues, inherent in the Ethereum blockchain, as primary motivators for the switch.

To facilitate the use of private blockchains, Symbiont comes into the mix. With a focus specifically on enterprise solutions, Templum intends to integrate Symbionts blockchain/smart contract capabilities – in place of commonplace Ethereum.

This move was undertaken with sights set on the future. Although scaling issues may not pose massive problems this early in the game, Templum and Symbiont have recognized their potential to disrupt a $3 trillion industry, and the eventual problems that may arise. By taking these measures now, they are better poised to adapt and grow alongside the burgeoning digital securities sector.
