The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
With this investment, the two companies will explore potential collaborations to leverage blockchain technology.
Led by Matthew Commons, CEO, Cambridge Blockchain provides solutions that harness the potential of blockchain to deliver digital identities at a global scale and meet data privacy obligations globally.

Identity data is managed and secured, leading to seamless transactions, operational efficiencies and strong privacy.
The funding is an extension of Cambridge Blockchain’s Series A funding round, which includes new investments from Omidyar Network and Flourish, a venture of The Omidyar Group.
