What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
It's been almost 6 years working at my startup Integreight, that developed 1Sheeld for Arduino, a hardware development board that allows makers and engineers to use their smartphone in prototyping. Makers from over 90 countries have used 1Sheeld to create some pretty cool projects. The blockchain is a new technology and we want to connect makers to it.
