Blockchain

Blockchain is a database system that provides several stakeholders access to identical data in real-time and ensures that the data hasn’t been tampered with. This is an important step for transforming processes, increasing resistance of complex networks such as supply chains, and verifying the digital identity of humans or items.

Blockchain has the potential to influence all of other FinTech areas that we are discussing here on our webpage.
