China Mobile incorporates Blockchain into a product for the family of water purifiers

Chinese telephone company one of the largest telecommunications companies in the Asian country seems to be interested in implementing blockchain technology in a normal domestic product.

The business unit responsible for developing the Internet of Things (IoT) was able to create a water purifier with an IoT module. It will be able to gather information on user behavior and provide this data to manufacturers and suppliers.

Whenever customers use this product, they will earn a blockchain token called PWMC. These tokens can be used to purchase replacement filters or purchase other goods. In this way, users will be encouraged to use the filter, something that is not present in other IoT devices.

By the way, Xiao Yi, a director of the product market of Chinese telephone company IoT, commented:

"Our goal is to attract those who are not in the cryptocurrency or in the blockchain community, who may have heard of this technology but do not necessarily understand it.To embrace a more traditional adoption, we have to turn something that looks professional into something that it is very common ".

At present, this water purifier is not sold to traditional individuals. In fact, it is only available through a crowdfunding campaign on the giant of e-commerce JD.com. The main intention is to raise $ 30,000 by January 21st.

The project started in 2017 when the cryptocurrency market was reaching its historical highs. These devices are also connected to the Internet without having to use a wi-fi connection. Furthermore, they are run as individual nodes and consumer information can be transferred and recorded on a distributed network.

These water purifiers follow a line of block televisions that have IoT modules and calculation chips that are connected to the SWTC network as nodes. It also records information on user behavior. In addition, each TV activates a cloud mining contract for the Bitcoin network that Chain Infinity has signed with the mining farms. This would allow TV owners a small amount of Bitcoin at the end of the contract period.

China banned virtual currencies from the country and the Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) that would be launched in the country. However, over-the-counter and crypto-to-crypto trading are still accessible to Chinese investors.

The intention is to sell the technology to other companies that want to launch similar blockchain and IoT products on the market.
