Vodafone Digital Asset Broker

Imagine a world where devices don’t just connect. They transact.

A world where devices create new revenue streams, rather than losing value over time.

Imagine a platform that enables new machine -to -machine business models across industries and geographies.

A platform where people, businesses, and devices can communicate and transact securely and autonomously. 24/7 without. Without the need for human intervention.

Introducing Digital Asset Broker (DAB)

By 2025, IoT forecasts estimate an economic impact of up to $12.6 trillion. But unlocking this potential is hampered by lack of trust between devices and overall IoT industry fragmentation.

Platform

The Economy of Things (EoT) is built upon a range of technologies – from distributed ledger and cryptography to device wallets. While they support the individual services and capabilities the EoT needs, they’re fragmented, costly and unscalable.

SIM

That’s where Vodafone comes in. We offer a decentralised platform for the fastest, most affordable way to create trusted device identities for a wide range of machines, to automatically execute smart contracts, and enable autonomous digital payments.

Network

Our permissioned distributed ledger network, unique SIM-based authentication and enterprise-grade security enable the trusted, secure and cross-ecosystem interactions needed to open up new digital markets, unlock innovative business models, and unleash the power of the EoT.

Opening up the Economy of Things

Wallet – stored payment methods, authorising devices to conduct transactions independently

Identity passport – allows mutual trust between devices from different organisations and ecosystems

Smart contracts – support automated interactions between devices without human intervention

Blockchain – allows mutual trust between devices from different organisations and ecosystems

How it works

Create trust through device ‘identity passports’

After connecting your devices to our platform, SIM and hardware combine to lay the foundation for our unique SIM Trust technology. This gives your machines a unique ‘identity passport’ to create a digital signature for secure, trusted transactions.

Enable secure, trusted communications

Authenticated devices can publish their services, find, connect and interact with third-party devices outside their ecosystem. Now your delivery fleet can autonomously communicate with the warehouse on arrival, automatically recording an accurate, reliable, on-time delivery status.

Enable autonomous transactions

Assign smart contracts and intelligent secure wallets to devices to enable zero-touch automated transactions between devices. Customers can automatically pay their suppliers on receipt of goods, easily applying bonuses or deductions for delivery speed and performance.

Supply chain transparency

DAB-enabled smart sensor shipping containers share trustworthy supply chain data with all parties. While smart contract execution significantly simplifies the supply chain.
