BlockWorld 2018

The uses for blockchain technologies go beyond cryptocurrency. Any business network that records transactions and can’t depend on a central proxy that everyone must trust, and for which those ledgers must be immutable, can be remade through blockchain technologies. Distributed ledgers for different use cases can have vastly different requirements. Hyperledger embraces the full spectrum of industry use cases, especially enterprise scenarios with widely varied requirements for decentralization, trust, continuity and confirmation times. Each represents a potentially unique optimization point for the technology. Daniela will discuss blockchains being built that do not involve cryptocurrency from companies in various industries including healthcare, education and supply chain to name a few.
