We started developing BitCourt as an arbitration platform, so commercial disputes could be resolved quickly and professionally. This goal requires non-repudiation of contracts, evidence and verdicts, so we put special emphasis in digital signature and notarization processes, creating an API to use blockchain and smart contract technology to make them secure and reliable.

In the meantime, being one of the very few companies in Latin America working with non-monetary blockchain applications gave us the opportunity to know and get in the conversation with many businesses, public offices and financial institutions. With their help we learned how undeveloped the industry is in terms of digital signature technology, not only about how smart contracts enhance it in ways not seen before, but also in a more traditional sense (obsolete algorithms and untapped uses cases).

To better fit this situation, we are focusing in our digital signature and notarization layer as a product in itself. In the following weeks we are going to launch a public beta of it, its name will be Signatura.
