EXHIBIT 99.1
Santo Launches its Groovy Centralized Blockchain to Power its Cannabis NFT QR Authentication Platform
MEDELLIN, ANTOQUIA, COLOMBIA, December 13, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Santo Mining Corp., dba Santo Blockchain Labs (USOTC:SANP), A trailblazing firm in the software development field, pioneering a 4IRSaaS ecosystem tailored for the cannabis industry; under the brand name GROOVY, announces today that the Company has gone live with its centralized blockchain ecosystem.
This innovative platform addresses the growing need for transparency and trust in the cannabis industry, where counterfeit products pose a significant threat to consumer safety and brand reputation. By leveraging the immutability and security of blockchain technology, the platform ensures the authenticity of cannabis products. Our Groovy centralized blockchain can achieve significantly higher transaction throughput compared to other decentralized counterparts. This is because we are the single authority to validate transactions, eliminating the need for consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work or Proof of Stake. This makes them suitable for high-volume applications such as supply chain management or loyalty programs.
Frank Yglesias CEO of Santo stated: "there were 4 key components for developing the Groovy blockchain as a centralized or closed blockchain, and they were the following:
1-Security:
The Groovy ecosystem's centralized blockchain can offer a higher degree of security compared to decentralized blockchains. This is because we are the central authority, giving us greater control over the network and we have the ability to take immediate action to address any security vulnerabilities.
2-Regulatory Compliance:
In some cases, a centralized blockchain may be better suited for compliance with regulations. This is because the central authority can be held accountable for ensuring that the network complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
3-Customization:
Centralized blockchains can be customized to meet the specific needs of a particular application. This allows for a more tailored solution that can address the unique challenges of a particular industry or organization.
4-Cost-effectiveness:
Building and maintaining a centralized blockchain is generally less expensive than a decentralized one. This is because there is no need for expensive hardware or software infrastructure to support a large network of nodes. Additionally, the centralized authority can more easily manage the costs associated with network operations.
