The National Bank of Cambodia has teamed up with distributed ledger tech startup Soramitsu to work on blockchain projects.

The partnership aims to build a new payment infrastructure prototype using DLT systems. The startup was founded in 2016 and it is best known for its management of the Hyperledger Iroha software framework, to which he said National Bank of Cambodia will now be contributing.
