Session: In blockchain we trust
Trust in Blockchain Technology is a challenge facing both individual institutions and all applicable industries as a whole. For blockchain to be adopted on a large scale, we will need to experience a migration of trust from today’s effective-yet-expensive central counterparty utilities to the distributed model. The business benefits for many players, or even the industries, will not materialize if the ‘trust issue’ is not addressed effectively. Some of the hurdles that lie ahead: understanding whether or not the public ledger can be hacked, and navigating potential regulatory challenges related to blockchain’s adoption. This session will address these challenges and provide viable recommendations going forward.
Learning outcomes:
- Create a workable implementation plan for building blockchain into institutions’ infrastructure.
- Address security limitations with linked technologies
- Reiterate the almost limitless potential uses and application of Blockckain, from financial transactions to automated contractual agreements and more
