Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help What is Blockchain? 4 Blockchain is a technology that revolutionizes the way that transactions are made between applications by establishing trust, accountability and transparency while streamlining business processes. Think of it as an OS for transactions that overcomes many traditional obstacles. It has the potential to greatly reduce the cost and complexity of getting things done by more efficiently organizing data and securing it. • Blockchain was popularized through Bitcoin, but Blockchain itself is its own distinct underlying infrastructure onto which Bitcoin layered their own protocol. • Blockchain opens the door to new interactions in business processes, across all industries that store data digitally

- 6. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help 2015 First Major Investment • VC investment of $474 Million in Blockchain related technologies • Top US banks, consulting, and tech companies form partnerships for blockchain development 2016 Preliminary Development • Use Cases begin to appear in financial transactions, supply chain management, and data security • First Blockchain implementation into Enterprise Service Bus 2017+ Application Implementation and Spread • Projected spread of blockchain applications and standards across industries • Asset proliferation on Blockchain once efficiencies prove out Time Until Adoption 6 Blockchain is still considered an emerging technology, but many companies have already made significant investment into application development. Initiatives and use cases are proliferating at a rate that signals future adoption and industry-wide standardization.
- 7. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help Future of Blockchain 7 The attention that Blockchain has received in the past two years has created strong momentum for both software developers and beneficiary companies to take action towards creating useful applications. • Once current Blockchain enterprise initiatives show signs of success, other companies will copy their success and we will see a new field of standardized, cross-industry Blockchain solutions • Early adopters have an advantage over competitors because they have influence over Blockchain implementations, and benefit from efficiencies of Blockchain infrastructure long before slow-moving competitors
- 8. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help How Does Blockchain Affect Business? 8 • Transparency, resilience, and cryptography protect data in the Blockchain • Cryptography adds resilience to DBs to deter hackers • Audit electronic actions to easily complete forensic analysis if a hack occurs • Providing irrefutable evidence of electronic action • Immutable logging and connection of data to create a tamper-proof chain of data • Immutable data means accurate reporting and analytics • These factors solve the inefficiencies of traditional transactional models

- 10. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help A Blockchain Advantage - Immutability 10 Data is syndicated to all peers & signed by network of participants Decentralized control is a federation of nodes with voting permissions that creates a super P2P network Each new block is chained to previous transaction & validated If something was changed, the Blockchain would become invalid at that point and broadcast the error to all nodes Immutability allows any fraud or error to be identified and corrected, eliminating any single point of failure and making it easy to have a correct record of all behavior at any point in time

- 12. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help Current Initiatives 12 q Supply Chain: Fraud Prevention, leakage detection q Cyber Security: Data Integrity – Hackers cannot change values q Big Data: Auditing and Analytics q Internet of Things: Registration, tracking usage data, payments q Human Resources: Incentivizing employees, real-time performance reporting q Financial: Settlements, post-trade data, back-office efficiencies q Healthcare: Patient records management, security, reduced errors
- 13. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help Use Cases – Facing New Data Sabotage Threat 13 Background: The new trend in Cyber Attacks is not stealing data, but hackers changing data without the parent organization realizing some of their data has been corrupted. • Public Sector - Cases of intelligence being altered so government officials act on untrue data/cannot trust what they are given. • Private Sector - Cases of financials being altered so companies are making financial decisions incorrectly based on the outputs they are receiving from the data they have. Examples of tax records being changed, organ donor lists, security information, embezzlement.
- 14. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help How Blockchain Prevents Cyber Threats 14 Blockchain creates an immutable database where each entry is hashed in a block, and the current block has the hashes of all the previous blocks in it (distributed across nodes who all verify it), so if a past data entry is tampered with (and a majority of the nodes do not accept it) then it will make the block invalid, which both cancels the transaction and shows that data was tampered with.
- 15. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help Use Cases – Intellectual Property Tracking 15 BigchainDB can reduce licensing friction in channels connecting creators to audiences, and gives perfect provenance to digital artifacts. • A typical music service has 38 million songs - BigchainDB could store this information in a heartbeat, along with licensing information about each song and information about use by subscribers. • In another example, consider a medium-sized photo marketplace running 100,000 transactions a day; to put this on Bitcoin would cost $10,000 per day and tie up the Bitcoin network.
- 16. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help Use Case – Receipts and Certification 16 BigchainDB reduces legal friction by providing irrefutable evidence of an electronic action. • BigchainDB is big enough that supporting information like receipts and certificates of authenticity (COAs) can be stored directly on it, rather than linking to the document or storing a hash. • Legally-binding contracts can be stored directly on the BigchainDB next to the transaction, in a format that is readable by humans and computers.
- 17. Encrypted Labs What is Blockchain Time of Adoption Why Blockchain Use Cases How We Can Help Use Case – Supply Chain Tracking 17 By tracking high-volume physical assets along whole supply chain, BigchainDB can help reduce fraud, providing massive cost savings. • Every RFID tag in existence could be entered on a BigchainDB. • Smart contracts (decentralized processing), where the application must be fully decentralized and database functionality is crucial. • Already being implemented to track diamonds and eliminate related fraud
