In conversation with Do Van Long, CEO of Vietnam Blockchain Corporation

Q. What is the current perception on blockchain technology? How do you ensure trust between people from all over the globe who do not know or trust each other?

It used to be hard for people to trust Blockchain technology at the very beginning; however, after tons of projects and benefits for the society, the current perception of blockchain technology seems to be higher and more positive. According to many reports, users who are considered as suppliers, providers, consumers, or stakeholders, investors and so on mainly agree that applying blockchain technology into their companies or organizations is a great idea to develop. It is undeniable that the suspicion always exists among people, especially when cooperating with each other. Understanding this, we usually use blockchain technology's key advantages to ensure the trust between our customers. The basic advantages of Blockchain technology are decentralization, immutability, security, and transparency.

Q. How do you manage to make adoption/implementation of blockchain easy as different countries and regions around the world have their own government regulations and own collective objectives?

Designed to suit a few specific localities: Choosing adequate and suitable "fit-for-purpose" traceability information is challenging. Finding the balance and similarity between many regulations and collective objectives in different countries is not easy, but it works in this situation. We try to build projects that can be widely applied and suitable for many areas, such as blockchain-based digital traceability for agriculture products on food safety and supply chain. To be more specific, we chose to build the architecture structure basement based on very common rules and then deploy, scale, and upgrade the projects to be more applicable.

Q. Whenever a groundbreaking technology emerges, the developer community needs time and resources to accommodate the new demand. Do you have the required blockchain dream team?

Yes, we do. We realize that despite the growing interest in adopting this technology, the current state of implementation of blockchain technology solutions is still very new in Vietnam. The country still needs a large adoption of blockchain in various industries and human resource training to develop solutions based on this technology continuously. Figure out this soon; we started to cooperate with many qualified universities and institutions in Vietnam, to realize and support many potential individuals, including professors and subject experts. Additionally, we also run the Blockchain and IoT Research Labs at University to be more proactive in this issue.

Q. Blockchains are very helpful, however, this technology can be detrimental to your business because of its own specific set of security issues. How do you manage to protect the clients’ interests and tons of data collected?

VBC has been researching and applying plenty of cryptography algorithms to ensure the privacy of users' identity and their data. We also proposed a new efficient E2EE to structure and store private information. This method helps us protect our users' privacy but still aligns with Blockchain technology's key characteristic - transparency.

Q. How do you market your services?

The most important key is ensuring our quality performance to all customers, competing Based on our Value, Not Price. Being recognized as a Trustworthy Company with national and international Certifications and Awards is also an effective way to approach the market, we believe that the news about us will be a big plus point in users’ views. As with other brands, we also use online marketing strategies and run various programs and campaigns to keep in touch with our customers. Finally, we also prefer to have a more frequent appearance by giving the solutions based on our blockchain technology to support society, not only market our services but also turn our mission come true: “powering Vietnam as a blockchain country.”

Q. Do you have any new services ready to be launched?

Besides current services and projects, we also have a plan for many new ones, as an example: Vietnam Blockchain Corporation (VBC) is studying the application of Blockchain to record the health check results of Covid-19, a project called "SARS-COV-2 TEST Certificate" (Shortname: "COVID Check"), which allow users who have undergone a test to record the results transparently and publicly on VBC Blockchain system for the evidence of virus checked safety for working back from Social Distancing activities.
