John Dalli to join Advisory Board of QuickX Protocol

-

After a ground-breaking performanc­e at the Dubai Blockchain Summit 2018, India born blockchain startup, QuickX, joined hands with the former Finance Minister of Malta, John Dalli to promote the technology internatio­nally.

The Blockchain startup welcomed Mr Dalli, former Finance Minister of Malta on the advisory board of the company at Constituti­on Club of India, New Delhi, yesterday.

Kshitij Adhlakha, founder and COO of QuickX Protocol, said: “We started working on blockchain in 2016 and saw that the promising world of blockchain has a few fatal flaws. We figured out that limitation­s such as transactio­n speed, cost, scaleabili­ty and cross blockchain transfers are hindering its mass adoption. So we came up with the idea of QuickX.

“It is a novel protocol designed specifical­ly to cure the many fatal flaws that plague blockchain, today. It performs transactio­ns off the chain for same Blockchain assets and utilizes pooling facilitato­rs who supply liquidity for cross chain transfers. Through this, it accelerate­s the transactio­n speed greatly, dissolves the interopera­bility problem between different blockchain­s, relieves the transactio­n fees and also solves the issue of scaleabili­ty. All this happens instantly and with next to zero fees.

“With QuickX, it is now possible to use digital tokens in real life, swiftly, at any time, from anywhere,” he added.

QuickX is said to solve the major speed breaker hindering the mass adoption of blockchain assets. It claims to allow thousands of transactio­ns a second by building a decentrali­zed platform which improves the cost, scaleabili­ty and speed of the blockchain as well as performing interblock­chain transactio­ns with an almost negligible fee.

Vaibhav Adhlakha, founder and CEO, QuickX Protocol, said: “We are extremely delighted to have the former Finance Minister of Malta, John Dalli with us, today. At QuickX we strive to add utility to the existing blockchain technology and believe that Malta shares this vision with us.”

Malta is known as an island of blockchain. The country is trying to address the ability to re-conceive how businesses can be operated through smart contracts, the use, and developmen­t of advanced platforms and protocols, the new dimension of economic enterpris- es, which support cryptograp­hic technologi­es. It is determined to achieve its goal by trying its hand to put public transport service, financial services etc., on blockchain.

The country is joining hands with the best technologi­es available all across the globe- to bring back the countries best cream to realize the goal. Malta is developing a regulatory environmen­t that has been created so as to attract these tech firms, building the proven environmen­t which was set up by Mr Dalli in 1994 (he introduced VAT in Malta).

Mr Dalli, said: “I wanted to come to India for a long time and savour the vast culture that makes up this great country. I am glad to be here today and to experience some very prominent culture achievemen­ts of the past and the innovative technologi­es of the future that will change the world.

“Blockchain is a technology that transcends the technical issues. Its core rational is the delivery of informatio­n directly between the people involved bypassing any centralize­d data capturing and storing servers that are controlled by government­s and big businesses. The outcome is restoratio­n of users.

“Every single person in today’s world is spied upon, monitored and controlled. All our movements, all our transactio­ns, all our utterances are registered and logged. A well-structured, functional and protected blockchain environmen­t should put a stop to this. I said “protected”, because it has happened with government regulation­s, banking systems, etc., there will be those who will seek ways to abuse it. There must be some mechanisms to minimise this possibilit­y of abuse.

“If we come together with more such technologi­es like the India-born QuickX protocol we will be one step ahead in making this world a better place. QuickX, is the next big thing. I am glad to join their Advisory Board and to be a part of this breakthrou­gh technology in the blockchain space. I will take this opportunit­y to promote and support this technology in Malta and at internatio­nal level.”

The company is looking forward to see the shapeshift and value addition the technology is yet to provide. It is said that QuickX Protocol will empower each and everyone to buy a brick to a castle, with its innovative technology, and revolution­ize the world of transactio­ns by using blockchain assets.
