Tim Draper and Alex Mashinsky Deliver Messages for Singapore at World Blockchain Summit
In line with the Singapore Government’s strategy to adopt Blockchain technologies to revolutionize its Public and Private Sector, World Blockchain Summit opened to a packed house at the Marina Bay Sands on Thursday. For the second time in Singapore, World Blockchain Summit was strategically curated by Trescon to stimulate coherent innovation narratives around blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The summit featured keynotes from pioneers such as Tim Draper and Alex Mashinsky.
Singapore’s conducive regulatory environment that is giving impetus to the rise in ICOs has made the small island nation an ideal launch pad for ICO startups.
“This is the beginning of one of the most amazing sociological changes in the history of the world. We are in for one of the biggest transformation moments and it is happening in the next five to ten years. If you are issuing an ICO, this is your moment, this is the trillion and ten trillion dollar industries that you are going after,” said Tim Draper, in his powerful keynote message to Singapore.
The 13th global edition of World Blockchain Summit was designed to address specific areas for discussions such as the legal and regulatory landscape in Asia, the outlook on blockchain and cryptocurrencies for 2020, and the role of banks in the new digital ecosystem, to name a few.
One of the most important pioneers and innovators of modern business, Alex Mashinsky or more commonly known as the Godfather of VoIP, said in his keynote, “Cryptocurrencies, blockchain and decentralization is a revolution. It is the fourth system that is here to replace what’s not working for 7 billion people that cannot rise to the middle-class.”
Future1Exchange, a digital crypto exchange based in Estonia, announced that Herbert Sim, widely referred to as ‘The Bitcoin Man‘, about his induction into Future1Exchange as an investor and growth advisor.

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
