Everything is connected, and
#RedbellyNetwork $RBNT is at the center of it all. Couldn't be clearer I guess.
Redbelly Network was established (and funded) in 2021 as a joint venture between Block8, the University of Sydney, and CSIRO (Australia’s national science agency) to commercialize the Redbelly Blockchain.
Block8, founded by Alan Burt, Tim Bass, and Kim Bartlett (all members of Redbelly Network's team) has been used to combine the NPP’s (Australia New Payment Platform) real-time payment infrastructure with blockchain to create innovative financial products and services. NPP Australia highlighted Block8 with discussions featuring Block8's CTO.
Austrade (the Australian Trade and Investment Commission) even included Block8 in a government-backed delegation to promote Australian blockchain companies internationally!
NNP is owned by 13 institutions including the Reserve Bank of Australia, but also ANZ Bank, CommonWealth bank, and Macquarie bank, all 4 collaborating with Redbelly Network at the Digital Finance CRC, and part of project Acacia.
The CTO at DFCRC is also the Principal Researcher at CSIRO's Data61, which has co-developped and is backing Redbelly Network as we all know.
Drew Bradford, CEO at Catena and Chair at JellyC (2 partners already officially working with Redbelly) is an advisor for the Digital Finance CRC.
Catena and JellyC are important entities already working with big players like Franklin Templeton, Standard Chartered, Zodia, Talos, Imperium Markets, the Australian government, ...
And for the reminder, the Acacia project has been created by the DFCRC and the Reserve Bank of Australia, with initial members including CSIRO, ANZ, Macquarie Bank, CommonWealth bank, Liquidise, Imperium Markets, the University of Sydney, and of course Redbelly network.
