12. Dcent.tech @dcentagency A (quick) intro to blockchain
13. Blockchains - decentralised ledger technology, consensus by algorithm, smart contracts Smart contracts - programmable agreements, execute on the blockchain as conditions are met Cryptocurrencies - decentralised currencies based on cryptography Coins/tokens - digital representations of an intrinsic or physical assets tracked on a blockchain Oracles - trusted authorities, involved in smart contracts dApps - decentralised apps which use the blockchain itself as their operating system https://www.legalgeek.co/learn/blockchain-wtf/ Dcent.tech @dcentagency Key terms
14. “Cryptoeconomics refers to the combinations of cryptography, computer networks and game theory which provide secure systems exhibiting some set of economic dis/incentives.” https://theethereum.wiki/w/index.php/Cryptoeconomics Cryptoeconomics Dcent.tech @dcentagency
15. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Cryptoeconomic disruptors
16. 1. Identity and personal data Users manage their own identity and control the data they share. Cryptoeconomics Dcent.tech @dcentagency
17. 2. Internet money Tokens used to transfer value between system participants. Cryptoeconomics Dcent.tech @dcentagency
18. 3. Networks and relationships Increased transparency, shared data and game theory create new organisations. Cryptoeconomics Dcent.tech @dcentagency
19. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Exploring blockchain projects
20. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Basic Attention Token works hand-in-hand with the Brave browser to monetise content, protect privacy and reward users for consuming ads. Illuminating transactions https://vimeo.com/209336437
21. Dcent.tech @dcentagency An open source project donated by IBM (and others) to the Hyperledger Foundation (part of the Linux foundation). A bundle of permissioned blockchains and related tools - high performance out of the box (~5k TPS). In use/trials by enterprise e.g. IBM and Walmart for food safety and EverLedger for diamond tracking. Enterprise data sharing
22. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Wave is a Barclays accelerator-backed trade finance project that allows for instant document exchange and accelerated/automated remittance of finance along supply chains. Economic inefficiency
23. The blockchain is only as useful as the quality of the data within it. The concept behind Riddle & Code is to have silicon-level fingerprinting so that devices can be trusted at an individual level as a foundation upon which to build trust about data contributors. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Trusted IoT data
24. Blockchain without the blockchain A smart energy platform that combines: • Smart energy hub (IoT) • Energy use insights (AI) • Trade energy with neighbours (Blockchain) All the consumer sees is reduced bills and helpful tips. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Better experience
25. Dcent.tech @dcentagency Trends and predictions
26. Healthcare is a “darling sector” for blockchain Trends and predictions Dcent.tech @dcentagency
27. Everything that can be tokenized, will be tokenized Trends and predictions Dcent.tech @dcentagency
28. Trends and predictions Dcent.tech @dcentagency The first time you use blockchain, you won’t know you are
29. Trends and predictions Dcent.tech @dcentagency Identity and personal data will become far more tightly integrated with value
30. Trends and predictions Dcent.tech @dcentagency Healthcare professionals + Augmented Intelligence + Cryptoeconomics + IoT sensors + Data = Superpowers
31. Trends and predictions Dcent.tech @dcentagency We’ll be able to design a healthcare system that optimises for the outcomes we want
32. Dcent.tech @dcentagency What healthcare system do we want? Trends and predictions
