Forbes: Earlier this year, Ardor, a public blockchain was utilized by QualiSig to facilitate secure, traceable, COVID-related communication between the Austrian government and citizens.

Is Usability the Biggest Barrier to Enterprise Blockchain Adoption?
BTCManager: Looking at other developments in corporate IT over recent years, a far more obvious reason for the lack of enterprise blockchain adoption emerges. Large companies tend to use services, software, and applications that are ready to use out of the box. For an enterprise, there’s a gaping chasm between a protocol and an enterprise-ready application. This chasm is one that Swiss company Jelurida has become well-positioned to fill. Jelurida operates the Ardor blockchain, a multi-chain public platform that offers users the ability to build and customize their own “child chains”. The critical difference between Ardor and other multi-chain platforms like Polkadot is that Ardor already has a full-featured, permissionless child chain called Ignis, which offers organizations the ability to implement blockchain functionality right out of the box.

One multi-chain platform currently offers significant advantages over the competition. Ignis is the main child chain of the Ardor platform. It provides many ready-made features and functionality for developers and users to get up and running with blockchain without reinventing the wheel, or even operating a sub-chain of their own.
