The research program funded by the Canadian Government's Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) is now hosting its blockchain explorer, according to an official statement of 20 August.
IRAP, managed by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), announced that the project implemented the blockchain-based app on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a protocol and a network designed to allow peer-to-peer storage and data sharing on a distributed ledger.
