A Korean data technology (DT) firm, Anifan is pioneering a new paradigm in the blockchain industry by launching a new concept of the blockchain system beyond the traditional blockchain technology centered on coins (tokens).

Anifan announced the launch of 'Anicerti', blockchain-based document management and security system, for the first time in Korea on December 26.

Considered one of the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, blockchain has been highlighted as the core technology of the cryptocurrencies represented by Bitcoin on the basis of its invincible security. known to be ultimately anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting. However, the industry experts pointed out that the launch of true blockchain applications, such as decentralized application (Dapp), which utilizes the technological potential of blockchain in full, has been delayed as the incorporation of blockchain has been concentrated on the token area.

Anicerti is the Anifan's answer to such a situation.

Anicerti is an anti-counterfeiting and certification system utilizing strong security of the Etherium-based cryptocurrency 'New Friend Coin (NFRD)' developed by Anifan, and the blockchain network. This is a service utilizing the characteristics of blockchain that do not allow counterfeiting and modification of data, and the block structure of Etheriuim that enables the data registration.

Not only businesses but also individuals can use it in a variety of ways including the prevention of counterfeiting certificates or products, and authentication of important jewelry, luxurious goods, antiques and art pieces. The system acquires NFRD to pay for the issuance of a certificate, and stores the relevant records permanently in an Etherium network where modification and deletion are impossible.

Mr. Lee Gyeong-chan, CEO of Anifan said, "Anicerti will be a trigger of the paradigm shift in the global Dapp ecosystem," and "We will focus our core capabilities to create an opportunity for the outcomes of our R&D including Payment Gateway, B2B, B2C and kiosk platforms to be utilized in everyday life."

Anifan is a firm founded by alumni of Seoul National University as core members, which is specialized in blockchain and artificial intelligence. CEO Mr. Lee Gyeong-chan graduated from the Seoul National University Graduate School of Law, and worked as the man in charge of a government computing system construction project. While managing several financial firms, he has invested in IT industry.

Thanks to such manpower and constant R&D efforts, Anifan managed to land a contract with 7SIX9 Entertainment, an entertainment firm founded by Hollywood tycoon Jerry Greenberg last year for the construction of a 'Blockchain-based Movie Investment System' that allows investing in Hollywood contents from anywhere in the world, which was seen as acknowledgement of the firm's exceptional technology.

A blockchain system developed by the pure Korean technology was successfully exported to the US, the home of blockchain, and moreover, it's to Hollywood, the center of the American culture. As soon as the news was known at the time, requests for interviewing Mr. Lee rushed in from the various Korean press.

Also, this year, a series of remarkable overseas achievements have been announced. In January, Anifan signed a business agreement on the construction of a blockchain-based network for oil and gas trading with China's state-owned renewable energy firm, Tadang Holdings, and on December 6th, it signed an investment agreement with Chongqing Taewonbo Science and Technology Co. Ltd. that had noted Anifan for its growth potential.

Furthermore, in November, Anifan agreed on promotion of a project to process the data of China's prestigious university, Fudan University and its hospitals on a blockchain network. Anifan and Fudan University plan to found an independent joint firm in China, which will conduct the relevant project.

Mr. Lee emphasized, "All of the Anifan's achievements are the evidence of the blockchain paradigm shift from tokens to networks," and "In the future, we will continue to lead the industry through constant R&D."
