Blockchain technology is beginning to reach the gadgets that we use on a daily basis. As proof of this today we bring you three examples:
Blockchain technology is an interconnected system that allows secure and traceable transactions between people around the world in a decentralized way. Likewise, the “chain of blocks” can only be updated by the consensus of the majority of the nodes or participants of the system, presenting itself as an immutable and permanent record.
Both blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies owe part of their origin to the cryptographic development that was used during World War II to encode and encrypt information that could not be publicly known. In 1997, Adam Back invented "Hashcash", an alternative currency system that served as proof of the concept that later popularized Bitcoin. In 2009, the first Bitcoin mined block was born by Satoshi Nakamoto and, with it, the blockchain was also born.
According to the needs that arose over the years, it had to expand to provide alternative solutions to those it already offered with cryptocurrencies, that is how companies and organizations around the world adapted this technology to revolutionize the different sectors that we find in life. everyday.
Currently, we can find this technology, applied from the registration of patients in large hospitals, to curious gadgets, such as:
Smartphones
Already on the market, smartphones with blockchain-based operating systems, designed to serve as cold wallets and provide a secure space for decentralized applications. One of the pioneers in this sector is FINNEY from Sirin Labs (Switzerland), a mobile terminal that among its features has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6-inch screen, 12 MPx camera, as well as including an integrated cold storage wallet , a system that provides secure communications, in addition to internal storage of 128 Gb; You can find this device on the manufacturer's website starting at $ 999.
Smart Clothing
In the past, companies have already used blockchain technology to track their products with greater precision and traceability, however, we can already find smart garments that have this technology, to exchange data in exchange for rewards. Currently, washable circuits are being developed that can be adhered to the fabrics of the fabric, to provide them with functions such as: temperature detection, lighting, among others. It is worth noting that all this data will be stored in a blockchain anonymously and securely, that is where the user can decide whether to share it with the brand in exchange for rewards.
Video game consoles
The blockchain and cryptocurrencies are present in video games for different formats and devices, however, the BlockParty company has opted for a different project that promises a new experience of playing video games. A video game console in the form of an interactive Tablet, which will allow any object in the physical world to be used as tokens through RFID tags, which will later be registered on the blockchain to give rise to the chosen game.
