“We are excited to apply our substantial engineering capabilities to help drive blockchain technology innovation in Fin-tech and other industries,” said Balazs Fejes, Co-Head of Global Business, EPAM. “Several global teams have been working to define and implement distributed ledger technology within the financial industry.

EPAM’s team is focusing on the wider adoption of technology capabilities supported by blockchain, which includes decentralized consensus, trusted computing, smart contracts and proof of work. In addition, the team is currently developing solutions for the online gambling and gaming industry, which has already experienced disruption due to bitcoin/blockchain.
