Sounds very interesting

Unlike many other decentralised ledger platforms, the start-up has no native cryptocurrency. It also provides its users with an opportunity to create multiple ledgers for different asset classes and can be used for smart contracts.

Not sure whether I understand everything correctly but this seems more like distributed ledgers (not sure what to call it) than a blockchain type setup. Almost like keeping several copies of a database in several different locations and just keeping them all in sync.
