About us
In 2018 we set out to create a platform for the curation of ancillary scientific research material (so-called grey literature) thereby making it possible to release it in advance of publication.
Based on the same core blockchain technology, our business has moved on and is now focused exclusively on developing Artifacts VERIFY as a comprehensive solution to the growing problem of SF drugs in the global pharmaceutical supply chain.
