Blockchain: The Unseen Technology Changing the Industries

Blockchain, unlike the cloud or the Internet of Things, is not a household word. It's not an obvious breakthrough that you can see and sound like a smartphone or an Amazon box. The blockchain is a decentralized system that tracks all that happens in real-time, including any digital transaction, exchange of value, products, and services, and private data.

A database structures its data into tables whereas a blockchain, like its name implies, structures its data into chunks (blocks) that are chained together. This makes it so that all blockchains are databases but not all databases are blockchains

• Blockchain is a specific type of database.
• It differs from a typical database in the way it stores information; blockchains store data in blocks that are then chained together.
• As new data comes in it is entered into a fresh block. Once the block is filled with data it is chained onto the previous block, which makes the data chained together in chronological order.
• Different types of information can be stored on a blockchain but the most common use so far has been as a ledger for transactions.

 Blockchain applications go far beyond cryptocurrency and bitcoin. With its ability to increase transparency and fairness while also saving businesses time and money, technology is influencing a wide range of industries in ways ranging from contract enforcement to government efficiency.

Blockchain in Banking & Finance

 Banking and finance are the most prominent industries that use blockchain to process digital currency transactions. One may easily move bitcoin from one location to another using the bitcoin digital currency, which is based on blockchain technology. This can be achieved without the use of a third-party entity. Since bitcoin is decentralized, all transactions are possible without the intervention of a central authority.

Each day, millions of transactions take place in the banking sector and blockchain aids in the development of a decentralized system that records these transactions forever. This not only reduces risk by enhancing security but also allows for quicker and cheaper transactions thanks to blockchain's decentralization.

Blockchain in Real Estate

 Real estate is another sector where we are seeing the use of blockchain technology across a diverse range of use cases.

Acquiring real estate is usually a complicated process requiring a great deal of paperwork and a high risk of fraud. By removing the need for human intermediaries, blockchain aims to create a permanent, distributed ledger between buyers, agents, lenders, insurance firms, and everyone else involved in a transaction, adding greater transparency, quicker transactions, and cost savings to the buying and selling phase.

Everything is recorded on the ledger for all to see–if one bad actor attempts to falsify a document, their activities can easily be discovered by anyone else with access to the blockchain.

Blockchain technology has the potential to make real estate investing more available to a broader audience by enabling individuals and businesses to buy and sell fractional shares of a property–similar to a mutual fund, but with greater liquidity.

Blockchain in Healthcare Industry

When it comes to exchanging and preserving medical data and documents, the healthcare sector has been in dire need of a big shakeup. Consumers and healthcare providers are distrustful of each other due to the risk of mistakes, fraud, and missing records.

 By securely storing medical records that can be reliably and safely transmitted to and accessed by physicians and other approved persons, blockchain technology can help restore faith.

 People's authorization and authentication will be aided by blockchain. Indeed, using blockchain technology, one startup called Ontology is already working to make positive, multi-source recognition a reality across all industries.

Blockchain in Video Industry

Startups like VideoCoin are already delivering on their goal of releasing this funding, allowing for the creation of completely new and groundbreaking video app ecosystems.

By 2022, video is projected to account for 82 percent of all Internet traffic, and blockchain will help to decentralize the video infrastructure.

By using $30 billion in unused Internet processing services, decentralizing video encoding, storage, and content delivery would significantly reduce the cost of video traffic.

Blockchain in Transportation

Customs clearance at multiple checkpoints can be achieved rapidly and effectively with the aid of smart contracts, minimizing processing times and effort. Street and traffic signal sensors can be linked to the internet of things, enabling local governments to reroute traffic more effectively.

Using blockchain to control traffic will dramatically reduce travel times and car emissions. A digital ledger for the commercial transportation sector can also be used to monitor the supply chain for truck parts. The trucking industry profits from blockchain by facilitating quicker distribution and resolving payment disputes.
