Simba Chain received $1.5 million from the USAF in 2020 to research and develop a blockchain for supply chain logistics in the USAF. The following year, it received another $1.5 million to work on something similar for the U.S. Navy.
The $30 million STRATFI therefore demonstrates a substantial increase in investment into Simba Chain, possibly reflecting the growing potential the U.S. military sees in blockchain technology to secure supply chains for weaponry and other equipment.
