Blockchain and business applications

These slides were shared with attendees of the Digital Currency Group Enterprise Blockchain Workshop on Oct. 25, 2017.

This document discusses the distributed ledger landscape and who is developing shared, replicated ledgers and why. It outlines the characteristics of distributed ledgers and the motivations for building non-proof-of-work ledgers and private blockchains. Known, trusted parties are preferred over unknown, untrusted parties due to unclear governance and scalability challenges of public blockchains. Permissioned blockchains with legally accountable validators are seen as more suitable for settling off-chain assets like securities and fiat. While distributed ledgers provide benefits, their use cases depend on factors like whether participants are known or anonymous, and what type of consensus is required.

Blockchain is a tool. Samson Williams likens blockchain to a group text message, in which each participant receives a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-resistant (and encrypted) record of data transactions. Each group text has these characteristics. Everyone in the group “sees” the data, and none can change or gainsay any group message. Smart contracts are computer code put on the blockchain (how, exactly?) that establishes self-executing terms and conditions of a transaction. Are smart contracts smart? If certain data comes in and fulfills a pre-set term or condition, then rights and responsibilities are formed, terminated, modified, or shifted among the parties. Ah certainty and transparency, but also ah garbage in and garbage out. Are some contractual terms not amenable to smart contracting? And are smart contracts necessarily contracts? If not, can they still be useful? If a smart contract is a contract, what is the governing document? Is it the words business people and lawyers use, or is it the code that is supposed to reflect the words?

BlockChain Strategists is the first French consulting company dedicated to BlockChain & Crypto-economies Strategies, organizations and governance models. We are convinced BlockChain value generation is tightly linked to a deeper understanding of blockchain specificities and DNA: Internet of value, Trusted ecosystems, economic horizontalisation and peer to peer models, crypto-economies.  Master these specificities unleashes capacity to go beyond experimentations with a middle and long term roadmap, generating value via new products & services go to market, and enhanced economic models (clustering, fraud management, traceability).  Operational efficiency is questioned due to current offering dispersion and apparent immaturity. Our value added is to assist in building IT Strategy filtering technologies based on their respective business coverage and proven credentials. At BlockChain Strategists, we make the bridge between Digital Strategic Consulting and BlockChain market play, to become YOUR partner in this upcoming digital disruption

The adoption of blockchain technology continues to accelerate across a wide array of industries, yet many of our clients are confused about how to deploy these solutions within their environment. EY has developed a blockchain stack that fits within the existing enterprise infrastructure, project and system development life cycle approaches that are customized to the new technology, and development frameworks to streamline our deployment.

The global system behind a viewer’s transaction of watching a movie or TV show impacts viewers and show creators every day. What if all stakeholders had the same facts – Writers, Producers, Directors, Unions, Studios, Networks, Distributors, Theaters, Broadcasters, Cable Providers, Satellite providers, OTT providers and viewers? Blockchains offer precisely this opportunity. In this article we are going to explore new methods for enabling accountability in pre-production, production, post production, distribution, consumption and reporting with a secure chain of custody and metadata to be accessed, including key social attributes such as viewing method, display usage, rights compliance, and digital rights management.
