Summary

Kandola is a decentralized real time message queue and data store built for IoT. With our chip-to-Cloud approach we ensure privacy and security of IoT devices and data from the device till it reaches the customer. 

Built using Privacy-By-Design principles, we ensure that all devices and solutions, built on Kandola are global IoT laws compliant.

Kandola vision is to be a marketplace for IoT with solutions and device listing. 

WHY KANDOLA

• Create New Blockchain Architecture that scales to domains like IoT that require real-time messaging
• Give Data, Privacy, Control and Choice Back to the Rightful Owners: the People
• Organize the Unorganized IoT Industry by creating an open, standard, secure and free protocol
• Democratize IoT by creating a decentralized community that processes IoT transactions [instead of being processed by proprietary silos]
• Liberate IoT Device Manufacturers and App Developers to focus on their own value propositions [:better hardware, better experiences]
• Render IoT Vendor Ecosystems/App Lock-Ins a Relic
