Blockchain's relevance in certain industries. Real world use cases of Blockchain.
Blockchain is becoming more relevant in many industries and here are the real world use cases of Blockchain.
β
Banking System: Banks and Blockchain. How is that possible? You know how banks could be, from high transaction fees to having network issues.
Now, blockchain has revolutionised the banking system by providing a secure, transparent, and efficient transaction process. Banks now use blockchain for cross-border payments which enables faster and cheaper transactions.
Instead of relying on intermediaries like correspondent banks, this technology facilitates direct peer-to-peer transfers. It can be used for smart contracts in lending, automating processes like loan approvals and repayments based on predefined conditions.
β
Healthcare System: Blockchain in the healthcare system? Yes darlingπ
In healthcare, blockchain has helped in improving data management and security. Patient records can be stored on a blockchain and are securely accessed by authorised healthcare providers.
Blockchain can also be used for tracking the supply chain of pharmaceuticals ensuring the authenticity from the manufacturer to the patient.
β
Voting System: I got really excited knowing that Blockchain can enhance transparency and security in voting systems and this is done by recording votes on a tamper-proof distributed ledger.
Blockchain helps to eliminate the risk of fraud and manipulation. Each vote is secured using cryptography ensuring anonymity and integrity. An example is Follow My Vote, a blockchain-based voting platform that enables voters to verify their ballots.
β
Educational System: This wonderful technology can be applied in the educational sector where Students' degrees, academic records and certifications can be stored on a blockchain, providing a tamper-proof and easily verifiable proof of their qualifications. You don't even have to stress it. For example, Learning Machine is a blockchain-based platform used by institutions to issue and verify digital diplomas and transcripts securely.
Notice, the use cases of Blockchain all share something in common, there's security and transaparency. π
