LG Launches its own Blockchain and Digital Currency Service
The South Korean electronics company, LG, launches Monachain. It is the company’s own blockchain and digital currency service whose aim is to help companies in terms of finances, logistics, and manufacturing.
According to reports, Monachain enables its users to create a digital wallet that they can use for financial services. Additional features include systems for communications and manufacturing via the blockchain.
Since it will offer a new way of managing money, the company is currently preparing to cooperate with local banks.
The IT service unit of LG, LG CNS, will handle the technology’s launch.

The Monachain blockchain is interoperable across several services. It can also let its clients have the ability to use their devices to make payments, send wire transfers, authenticate using a PIN, fingerprint, or other biometrics.
