Vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin

“With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman,

money can be secure and transaction effortless“

What are Assets?

Two fundamental

types of asset

Intangible assets

subdivide

Cash is also

an asset

– Tangible, e.g. a house

– Intangible, e.g. a mortgage

– Financial, e.g. bond

– Intellectual, e.g. patents

– Digital, e.g. music

– Has property of anonymity

Anything that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value, is an asset

Key Advantages of Blockchain:

Decentralized Storage of Transactions

Elimination of intermediaries

Transparency

Immutability of Transactions

Simplicity of Use

Easy Verification of Transactions

Improved Trust and Security


– Ledger is THE system of record for a business.

Business will have multiple ledgers for multiple business networks in which they participate.

– Transaction – an asset transfer onto or off the ledger

• John gives a car to Anthony (simple)

– Contract – conditions for transaction to occur

• If Anthony pays John money, then car passes from John to Anthony (simple)

• If car won't start, funds do not pass to John (as decided by third party arbitrator) (more complex)

Shared

ledgerSmart

contract

Trust


• Shared between participants

• Participants have own copy through replication

• Permissioned, so participants see only appropriate transactions

• THE shared system of record

Records all transactions across business network

Shared ledger


Smart contract

• Verifiable, signed

• Encoded in programming language

• Example:

– Defines contractual conditions under which corporate Bond transfer occurs

Business rules implied by the contract … embedded in the Blockchain

and executed with the transaction


Privacy

• Participants need:

– Appropriate confidentiality between subsets of participants

– Identity not linked to a transaction

• Transactions need to be authenticated

• Cryptography central to these processes

The ledger is shared, but participants require privacy


Trust

• Participants endorse transactions

– Business network decides who will endorse transactions

– Endorsed transactions are added to the ledger with appropriate confidentiality

• Assets have a verifiable audit trail

– Transactions cannot be modified, inserted or deleted

• Achieved through consensus, provenance, immutability and finality

The ledger is a trusted source of information

Security: Public vs. private blockchains

• Some use-cases require anonymity, others require privacy

– Some may require a mixture of the two, depending on the characteristics of each participant

• Most business use-cases require private, permissioned blockchains

– Network members know who they’re dealing with (required for KYC, AML etc.)

– Transactions are (usually) confidential between the participants concerned

– Membership is controlled

15

• For example, Bitcoin

• Transactions are viewable by

anyone

• Participant identity is more

difficult to control

Public blockchains Private “permissioned” blockchains

• For example, Hyperledger

Fabric

• Network members are known

but transactions are secret

• Created by a small set of participants• Share key reference data• Consolidated, consistent real-time view

• Sharing of assets (voting, dividend notification)• Assets are information, not financial• Provenance & finality are key

• Transfer of high value financial assets• Between many participants in a market• Regulatory timeframes

• Real-time view of compliance, audit & risk data• Provenance, immutability & finality are key• Transparent access to auditor & regulator

What?

• Ninety percent of goods in global trade are carried by the ocean

shipping industry each year. Costs associated with trade

documentation processing and administration are estimated to be

up to one-fifth the actual physical transportation costs.

How?

• A new blockchain solution from IBM and Maersk will help manage

and track the paper trail of tens of millions of shipping containers

across the world by digitizing the supply chain process.

Benefits

1. Enhance transparency and the highly secure sharing of

information among trading partners and customs officials.

2. Reduce fraud and errors, reduce the time products spend in the

transit and shipping process, improve inventory management

and ultimately reduce waste.

3. Potential to save the industry billions of dollars.

Global Financing: Dispute Resolution

What?

• IBM Global Finance provides a $41bn channel financing per year. There are a number of disputes that take time to resolve and can lock up transactions costing time and money

How?

• Blockchain provides visibility and provenance

end-to-end across supply chain

Benefits

1. Reduced dispute resolution time by 75%

2. Released working capital from $100m

3. Combine IGF and Supplier info to further expand benefits further

4. In production since Sept 2016
