Microsoft is working on the newest Webjet Blockchain<\/strong> project to allow users booking travels<\/strong> through the distributed ledger.<\/p>\n

Microsoft, in fact, is testing a blockchain proof-of-concept<\/strong><\/a> developed together with the Australian travel agency called Webjet for a pilot that will be ready during this year.<\/p>\n
