WENZHOU, China, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ZK International GroupCo., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ZKIN) ("ZKIN", "ZK International" or the "Company") and its subsidiary, XSigma Corporation (www.xsigma.io), is pleased to announce the third component of its licensed technology, which allows the adoption of innovative Blockchain technology into its manufacturing capabilities. This patent pending 'Track-n-Trace' (TNT) Blockchain solution will be integrated into ZK International's manufacturing and supply chain system, significantly improving the ability to follow all items from their source, track them with accountability and create a digital identity which cannot be manipulated. Using this Blockchain ledger to store these records creates a chain of trusted transactions that cannot be changed or counterfeited. Unlike the original method of keeping records in a database file stored on a single computer system, Blockchain is designed to be decentralized and distributed across a large network. This decentralizing of information reduces the ability of data tampering and creates trusted transactions and confidence in the accuracy of the information. In order for more data to be added to the chain, a cryptographic puzzle must be deciphered. This creates the block, then the solution is shared with all computer nodes on the network. Having the information to solve these computationally intensive puzzles is how transactions are validated and new blocks of data can be created and added to the chain. The combination of these complex transactions with multi-node verification is what ensures that we can trust every block of data in the chain. David Christensen, President of TNT Blockchain commented, "Blockchain technology is the future of supply chain solutions. The pioneers and innovators who embrace it and deploy it will clearly have the sustainable competitive advantage. ZK is leading the way by deploying these solutions internally and preparing the way for many future successes."
