Mingo: Bringing Web3 and NFTs to the Masses on Hedera

Blockchains are proliferating across enterprises and taking on new business use cases at a rapid pace. But even with a wave of mass acceptance, the persisting problem with blockchain technology are the barriers to entry, particularly in understanding its utilities.  As a digital ledger system, which simultaneously boasts transparency and encryption, blockchain is a powerful tool to grow secure digital platforms. In real-world applications of distributed ledger technology, Hedera has become a leading example for hashgraph security, even amongst big tech giants such as IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle.

Arthur is an experienced Chief Executive Officer whose background is in online media platforms, having co-founded the Mingo network in 2015.
