The “Low Code Blockchain Integration Toolkit” project aims to simplify the implementation and use of blockchain technologies through commercially viable apps for various use cases. It is based on the low-code/no-code (LCNC) platform developed by Heisenware for creating modern, integrated and web-based apps.

“Blockchain-based storage service” has also been awarded funding and is working on the development of a secure, decentralised cloud storage service protected by blockchain technology.

The “Safe BLUE” project aims to improve the user-friendliness of the BCAM learning platform (link: www.blockchain-academy.hs-mittweida.de) by integrating a Large Language Model (LLM), commonly known as ChatGPT. The focus here is on the topic of ‘blockchain security’.

“OpenSci” is developing an innovative Web3 publishing platform that connects authors and specialist publishers worldwide via a preprint server, acting as a communication platform. Blockchain technology is used to secure copyright in manuscripts using NFTs. NFTs are digital assets that enable ownership of a digital object via unique tokens.

The ‘Snapshots’ project is developing a solution to create snapshots of web content that are both cryptographically verifiable and legally valid. This is achieved by establishing a link between a specific URL, the unique content and a timestamp.

The ‘Crypto Custody as a Service’ project aims to develop a customisable service model for the secure custody of digital assets, enabling cooperation between a customer’s principal bank and the crypto custody provider.

Last year, the “Blockchain Showcase Region Mittweida” alliance received approval from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the second funding phase as part of the “WIR! – Change through Innovation in the Region” competition. The alliance partners are the town of Mittweida (alliance coordinator), Volksbank eG Mittweida and Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, where the Blockchain Competence Centre Mittweida (BCCM) was founded back in 2017.

The Mittweida Blockchain Showcase Region aims to develop the Mittweida region into a beacon for innovative applications of blockchain technology. Further information on research projects can be found at the following link: https://blockchain-mittweida.com
