Establishing Blockchain Policy

With widespread innovation comes a need for control.

Blockchain has been on the lips of innovators and pundits over recent years. The level of interest and investment from technology buffs, venture capital, and established companies alike suggest that the revolutionary technology is here to stay.

The promise of blockchain can be understood best when used as a contrast to traditional integration approaches that focus on permissioned data sharing through a shared data store. Blockchains challenge this with the proposition to minimise the role of the shared service and data component and allow for privacy-friendly, direct peer-to-peer exchange of information that can be cross validated against a shared record of proofs.
