Web3devs joins BiTA
Memphis, TN based blockchain development shop joins other BiTA members to establish best practices and standards for blockchain in the transportation industry.
Web3devs LLC has joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA).
Web3devs LLC, a Memphis-based decentralized ledger technology development shop, announced that the company joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA), an organization comprised of logistics, transportation and supply chain companies. BiTA aims to develop best practices and industry-accepted standards for blockchain technology in the freight industry.
Blockchain is an open, distributed digital ledger that can record and share transactions between two or more parties efficiently, securely and permanently. Using a distributed ledger, Blockchain enables transportation companies to more accurately track shipments, routes and trucks while providing a highly secure platform that permits faster processing and payments. We are early in the mass adoption of blockchain technology. There are many industry standards to be developed and adopted.
“Web3devs is a valued citizen of the University of Memphis UMRF Research Park. Therefore, we congratulate it for joining BiTA,” said Ted Townsend, UMRF Research Park’s Chief Economic Development & Government Relations Officer. “Blockchain is one of the most exciting technologies developed in the past few decades. It will touch high-growth industries such as logistics, where the University’s research in this sector is nationally recognized.”
The majority of the Web3devs team works out of the University of Memphis UMRF Research Park. Web3devs is a decentralized team that began in 2017 with a WordPress plugin to allow anyone to write to the Ethereum blockchain. Since then, the team’s expertise has led to involvement in development projects, consulting work, speaking engagements and hackathons around the globe.
“Past blockchain projects have resulted in our [Web3devs] developers establishing best practices and frameworks. We are excited to join the BiTA community. Our Memphis roots have us identifying where we can help the logistics/supply chain industry adopt blockchain technology,” stated Scott Finney, co-founder of Web3devs.

BiTA President Patrick Duffy said, “On behalf of the BiTA membership, I welcome Web3devs to BiTA. Its expertise in DLT will assist in the effort to develop standards for blockchain in the areas of transportation, logistics and supply chain.”
