The core potential of the blockchain depends on the characteristics of the distributed database and how it can help to improve transparency, safety and efficiency. What’s more, from theory to practice, a series of specific real-world scenarios will be explored to cover a wide range of markets and industries, such as leisure and tourism, energy, real estate and finance industry. In that way, it can clarify the characteristics of blockchains that can solve existing business problems to the largest extent and quantify how it changes the industry.
We will analyze what new or old profit pools that the blockchain can create or destroy. It is worth noting that in these applications, the blockchain does not aim to remove intermediate traders. In some cases, the blockchain will disrupt existing markets and participants, while others are expected to reduce costs by reducing labor-intensive processes and eliminating duplication of effort. In addition, it can create new markets by tapping previously undeveloped resources. With a completely new database technology that can be used by multiple organizations, blockchain can lay a solid foundation for solutions or seize the opportunities that the existing system fails to implement.
