Technology does not take a vacation and neither does our vocabulary. Blockchain, a digital cryptic and decentralized system for immutable record keeping, has slowly but surely generated the right buzz for people to stand up and take notice. The blockchain is the underlying technology framework that makes cryptocurrencies like bitcoin work.
As more and more technology enthusiasts, individuals and organization look at possibilities for implementing blockchain solutions for their businesses and services, we take a look of what are the factors that determine whether Blockchain must be integrated with business solutions.
The blockchain is a decentralized way of consensus bookkeeping. It ensures data remains secure and incorruptible using distributed models for database structuring. In case your application needs a database, it is best to opt for the distributed ledger. Irrespective of whether your business is B2C, B2B, or a combination of both, a distributed ledger or blockchain framework will add credibility, transparency, and efficiency to your business.
Moreover, the distributed system means that all participants will have a copy of the database and any changes related to operations, logistics, or supply chain by any participant is immediately reflected and approved on a consensus basis.
Smart Contracts eliminate the role of middlemen from your business operations and transactions. These are pre-coded into the blockchain and triggered into execution only if the pre-set conditions are met. This eliminates the need of third parties to act as service providers between two parties with mutual consent for business transactions. Smart Contracts are the backbone of P2P transactions in the blockchain.
Smart Contracts can improve business operations, project development, decision making, and Resource management significantly in large organizations. They are also means for solution providers to give back to token owners once the project turns profitable. Airtoto is one such blockchain startup that promises at least 50% of its net profit to the investors through a transparent dividend system based on an Ethereum smart contract.
Cryptocurrencies are a hotly debated topic these days. Naysayers say that they must be regulated at all costs while those in favor see them as the future global currency. Using cryptocurrencies and tokens like Bitcoin, ETH is no doubt safer but token development is a costly exercise. One should use it only if his or the company's business operations are on a global scale and involve many cross border transactions on a daily basis.
This is also an important question to ask before adopting blockchain as your business solutions. Cryptocurrencies are still in their infant stages. Hence, most of the current generation would be apprehensive about using it as a currency or trading unit. However, millennials and younger generation would be better adept to make the transition as they are more familiarised with the idea of virtual currencies and online transactions.
Last but not least, security is also is of paramount importance. Blockchain can help in prompt delivery government policies as well as change the face of industries like healthcare, logistics, etc. But all this is possible only if we the people are willing to embrace change. But this seems a far cry as of now with digitization still being a distant dream for many countries.
In conclusion, we can say that blockchain solutions are costly and take time. Instead of going for an all-out adoption in your business solution, it is advisable to follow a wait and watch strategy for now. As for now, building a framework which will later support blockchain migration is the right and most effective thing to do.
