In Feb 2018 GuildOne Inc. announced the first execution of an Oil royalty smart contract using the Company’s new Royalty Ledger application for settlement and payment transactions.

Guild 1 ‘s distributed royalty ledger is the first implementation of a smart contract in the oil and gas royalty sector and was delivered together with NAL Resources Management Limited, PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. and ATB Financial.

Distributed ledger and Blockchain technology have the potential to greatly minimize and ultimately eliminate resource and royalty-based disputes.

According to IBM’s Dason Wells, “What’s new here is the shared ledger – prior to this point each participant in a business network had their own ledger. More specifically Blockchain technologies enable faster, permissioned, secure and auditable business to business transactions between participants”
