Certon, a South Korean blockchain company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Singapore-based Evvo Labs to digitize medical certificate services using Aston’s platform.

Aston is a blockchain-based decentralized platform for the authentication of documents. According to its whitepaper, Aston’s X-chain technology resolves the various problems present in existing blockchain systems, making the digital document authentication significantly more scalable.

In addition to the MOU, Certon is in talks with Evvo Labs to provide medical certification services to Southeast Asia's largest medical group.

Certon’s medical certificate service will greatly improve the convenience of patients by simplifying the process of issuing medical certificates. The existing cumbersome process of going to the hospital to receive the paper documents will disappear once the system is introduced.

Furthermore, the system is also expected to enhance the security of the process by integrating the history management system for the distribution of documents on the blockchain-based system.

“The security authentication solution (Smart-PassOn) based on the public key infrastructure (PKI) and the biometric signature authentication (FIDO) ensures an even higher level of document security for users,” Aston whitepaper reads.

Aston Token

Aston is going to hold a token (ATC) sale in December. The ATC issued by the sale of ASTON tokens will be used as the means for payment of usage of the ASTON platform. ASTON tokens can later be traded freely on cryptocurrency exchanges around the world including Coinlink.

A total of 286,000 ETH is targeted to be raised through the pre-sale as well as the crowdsale and 1,500 ATC tokens are planned to be issued for each unit of Ethereum. However, if 10% of the target (or 28,600 ETH) is not collected after the maximum 7 times of crowdsales, the Ethereum collected will be returned in full.
