Introducing GemOS
We allow companies to discover and share disparate data tied to unique identifiers.
Features
Configuration
Connect to any Blockchain Network
Create flexible applications that can adapt to different protocols, like Ethereum, Hyperledger and more. Run blockchain nodes of varying sizes and functionality to fit your needs, as a validator or read-only participant. Additionally, you can connect to one or many protocols.
Connect to any Data Store
Connect data sources from different systems, and register them on a common ledger. Create proofs-of-existence with verifiable integrity without surrendering custody of sensitive information.
Standardize Resource Representation
Attach identity registries for individuals, groups, and devices, and assign a universal blockchain IDs. Create entitlements for users and roles across the network and automatically enforce key-based authorization. Safeguard user access with industry-leading security based on PKI and hierarchical-deterministic (HD) identity trees. Integrate your organization's identity and permission schemas for mirrored functionality.
Access Controls

GemOS
Product Stack
GemOS is a full-stack blockchain identity platform that powers data-driven applications.
Architecture
GemOS seeks to present a scalable, flexible, and extensible platform for building, deploying, and managing distributed applications. With these goals in mind, GemOS was designed based on few core principles:
Use well-defined and well-managed microservices to encapsulate functionality, isolate sensitive data, enable responsive and efficient scaling, and provide a framework for future improvements.
Speed matters, but so does ease. Favor event-driven architecture to construct fast, responsive systems, but provide support for alternate modes of operation.
Expose high-level abstractions of the foundational elements of distributed applications in a powerful, well-understood programming environment to simplify development of extensions, adapters, and applications.

Gem – The Enterprise Platform That Powers Data-Driven Applications
We are joined by Micah Winkelspecht, CEO and Founder of Gem. What started as a Bitcoin API in 2014 has evolved into a leading provider of blockchain solutions for enterprise. Gem addresses the problem of digital data silos and the complexities they introduce when companies and individuals collaborate and share information. Their product, GemOS, provides a full-stack blockchain middleware platform which allows companies to build applications on top of blockchains protocols like Ethereum or Hyperledger Fabric.
Driving the Future of Blockchains — Part 3
Entering the Ride-Sharing Environment
With transportation ushering in a new period of innovation and a new, evolving automotive ecosystem turning car-generated data into valuable products and services, the self-driving ecosystem is poised to have a huge impact not only on the new ride-sharing environment, but also on the technical and architectural enablers within the automotive industry.
Interview series with blockchain influencers — Final Part
Disruption may be an unavoidable reality: Is blockchain the new status quo?
It’s safe to say that blockchain is not going away, so people working in tech should have (at least) a base-level understanding of how this technology works. In the final part of our interview series, we dissect the IMF’s piece The Internet of Trust and discuss the lessons the IT world can learn from the blockchain technology.
L.A. Ventures Forge Links to Blockchain
A budding blockchain hub in Los Angeles is gaining traction as digital currencies such as bitcoin heat up amid a wave of speculation.
Companies such as Venice-based Gem are already in the process of developing applications to undercut established business practices using blockchain, which is essentially a ledger that allows the reconciliation of transactions between two or more parties without the need of a centralized system.
Blockchain Reports: Gem
Brad Smith is joined by Micah Winkelspecht, Founder and CEO of Gem at the Consensus Summit 2017. Winkelspecht notes that this year’s summit was well represented by large enterprise companies, many of which Gem has an interest in working with in the future. He also mentions that many new enterprise companies are stepping into blockchain and that is also exciting for the industry and technology. With the entrance of larger companies in the blockchain sector, it is clear that this technology is quickly moving toward real world applications.
Consensus 2017: Global Insurers Debate the Future of Prediction Markets
Having a window into the future would make the job of an insurer a whole lot easier – and blockchain could make that possibility a bit more realistic.
The topic of blockchain-powered prediction markets and how the tech could help insurers like MetLife and reinsurers like Swiss Re was on display during CoinDesk’s Consensus 2017 blockchain conference.
Decentralized Identity Foundation Announces Formation At Consensus 2017
On May 22 at Consensus 2017, panelists from Microsoft, uPort, Gem, Evernym, Blockstack, and Tierion announced the formation of the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF).
The DIF is comprised of a multitude of competitive companies across industries with the singular unifying focus to create a universal decentralized state of data that can be accessed by institutions and individuals to verify identity.
Digital Currency Group launches blockchain accelerator DCG Connect with IBM, Amazon and Mastercard

DCG Connect enlists a group of founding corporate members including IBM, Amazon Web Services (AWS), CME Group, Foxconn, Mastercard, New York Life, Prudential, and Transamerica.
DCG Connect will accelerate the deployment of blockchain technology across industries, and develop tools to help enterprise adopters successfully navigate the universe of blockchain service providers, said a statement.
Toyota’s Vision of How Blockchain Will Change the Auto Industry
Imagine a world where automotive vehicles are no longer depreciating assets, but are profit generating machines.
Gem shows off first blockchain application for health claims
Los Angeles-based startup Gem has developed the first blockchain product for health claims management, which is being demonstrated at Consensus 2017, the main industry meet-up.
The Gem health claims solution takes aim at three of the toughest issues confronting the healthcare industry, said a release. The first is the lack of real-time transparency into health claims transactions involving providers and payers; then there is the amount of time it takes for providers to get paid for their service. Thirdly is the slow rate of provider reimbursements because of the time it takes to generate and deliver the patient’s Explanation of Benefits.
