Vodafone is forming a new venture – Digital Asset Broker (DAB), offering Digital Identity, Smart Contracts and Payments/Micro-Payments.

The DAB uses the latest blockchain technology meaning that all devices and machines connected to Vodafone DAB are verified as trustworthy and then automatically allowed to exchange and trade data and money over secure and encrypted connections.
