Example of soybean import using blockchain
some countries have shown great interest in the blockchain technology of decentralized data management framework to store public data. For example, essentia is developing an e-government project with the Central Union of agricultural procers and forest owners in Finland, The project will apply blockchain technology to enable urban and rural residents in Finland to query various records, fully meet the needs of residents and employers, and improve the employment rate. In addition, the use of this technology can also improve the efficiency of government operation, so that residents can easily query ecation, public records, voting and other information
waste recycling
for example, an intelligent waste management system in China adopts the RFID technology of waltonchain company. Using this blockchain application of waltonchain, it can effectively monitor the waste level, so as to improve the management and operation efficiency and resource optimization
identity recognition
chug, a Swiss city known as "encryption Valley", has developed an identity authentication system with its partner uport by using blockchain technology, through which citizens can participate in online voting and proof of residence
border control
essentia has been in contact with the Dutch government, hoping to use its blockchain technology to establish a set of border inspection system for the Dutch government to check passengers between Amsterdam and London. At present, passengers of Eurostar high-speed rail between the two countries need to undergo border control checks at multiple locations. Essentia is working on a blockchain based solution that will securely store passenger data so that inspection records from the Netherlands can also be reviewed by UK Border agencies. Blockchain technology will ensure that the data has not been tampered with and is verifiable and accurate
health care
as we all know, medical records are very scattered and prone to errors. Inconsistent data processing process will make hospitals and clinics often forced to deal with some incorrect or incomplete patient records. For example, Medrec, a blockchain electronic medical record system developed by MIT, uses blockchain technology to promote data sharing. At the same time, it can also provide authentication and confidentiality services
enterprise management
as enterprise customers of Microsoft azure applications, they can make use of blockchain as a service (baas), which will enable enterprises to access smart contracts and blockchain applications in a secure hosting environment. According to media reports, Google is also developing a proprietary blockchain project to support its cloud based business. And alpha, Google's parent company, is developing a distributed accounting project that third parties will be able to use to store data related to Google's cloud services
medical data
medical centers that digitize patient records do not store data among multiple devices. They usually store data on centralized servers, which has become the main target of hackers. The wannacry attack on NHS hospital in the UK proves this. But in addition, even if the security risk is ignored, there is still the problem of fragmentation. At present, there are more than 50 different electronic medical record systems (EHR) operating in hospitals in different cities around the world, and there are usually dozens of different medical application systems in the same city. These independent systems can't perform interoperation, and the data of patients in each hospital can only be distributed in different data storage centers
in the case of patients' life and death, the lack of reliable medical data contrast and slow operation efficiency will be fatal. Essentia's application framework solves all these problems by using blockchain based system, which will store all clinical data of patients, and can access these data immediately regardless of geographical boundaries. In this system, the patient's medical record privacy can also be protected, and only the authorized medical personnel can access it in a specific period of time
Music Proction
one of the main advantages of blockchain technology is that it eliminates unnecessary middlemen or middlemen. The music instry is a typical example. In this instry, if artists are inefficient, they will get very low remuneration. At this time, a number of blockchain based projects have emerged to seek a fairer trading and business environment for music creators, such as artbit, a former gunshot rose drummer Matt Soren as director
carbon compensation
as a highly instrialized country, China's environmental change is huge. In March 2017, IBM and energy blockchain labs jointly launched the hyperledger fabric blockchain project to discover China's carbon assets, which not only creates a measurable and auditable system for tracking carbon emissions, but also provides a tradable market for companies seeking to offset energy consumption and stimulate green instrial practice
supply chain management
supply chain management is considered to be one of the better cases of applying blockchain, because it is very suitable for the express delivery of such goods from delivery to receipt or the whole process from manufacturer to store. IBM and Wal Mart have jointly launched a blockchain food safety alliance in China. The project is also jointly operated with Jingdong company, aiming to improve food delivery tracking and safety assurance, so as to make it easier to trace food safety issues
facts have proved that China is a mature experimental base for blockchain projects, and it is also the location of the world's first blockchain for agricultural procts (5.180, - 0.25, - 4.60%). Louis Dreyfus Co, a world-famous food trader, has established a blockchain technology project in cooperation with Dutch and French banks. Using this project technology, the transaction settlement is faster than traditional methods in the process of selling soybeans to China
diamond instry
De Beers Group, the world's most famous diamond company, has its own blockchain company and has started operation. Its purpose is to "establish a digital record for every diamond registered on the platform". Considering the origin of diamonds, the ethical standards of origin, and the risk of diamond quality, blockchain technology is a good choice, because every record of it is indelible, and it will ensure that the electronic data of each diamond is as permanent as itself
real estate transactions
currently, Ukraine is the first country to use blockchain technology to promote property transactions. Michael Arlington, the founder of techcrunch, a famous technology website and cryptocurrency player, remotely purchased and resold a real estate in Kiev through the smart contract of Ethereum blockchain. This transaction was completed by propy, a start-up company specializing in blockchain real estate transactions
fisheries
blockchain technology is now being used to support the development of sustainable fisheries. Illegal fishing is a common problem in this instry. The distributed ledger technology of blockchain provides a proof of the capture source, processing and sale mode. This "net to table" supply chain allows inspectors to determine whether the fish caught came from a human rights violation area or from a country affected by economic sanctions
art paintings
similar to diamond trading, the art instry relies on the provenance and authenticity of art works. Although the blockchain cannot identify whether a painting is an original or a fake, it can be used to prove the identity of the previous owner of the painting. In addition, blockchain technology is now also used as a means to obtain works of art. It can make tangible goods easily traded and exchanged anywhere in the world without physical transfer from a secure storage place
public facilities
in Freemantle, Australia, a project dedicated to distributed energy and water system management is using blockchain technology, and solar panels (3.340, - 0.06, - 1.76%) are being used in sunny areas to obtain electricity, which is then used to heat water and provide electricity, All these energy conversion and use information will be recorded in the blockchain data
in Chile, the National Energy Commission has started to use the blockchain technology as the verification of the country's energy use data, and some sensitive data will be stored in the blockchain. The application of this technology can be regarded as a means for the modernization and safe operation of power infrastructure in this South American country
LGBT rights
blockchain can help build a "pink economy" and help LGBT communities fight for their own rights without revealing people's identities. This is an extremely important issue, because crimes of discrimination against homosexual groups often occur, especially in countries notorious for human rights violations, Homosexuality is illegal, or at least not allowed
catastrophe bonds
catastrophe bonds may be the only hope for victims of earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Blockchain allows fast and transparent reconciliation between the parties, and can ensure that the system can continue to operate normally even under unmanned operation. Now, blockchain has been successfully used in the settlement mechanism of catastrophe bonds
tourism
local institutions in Hawaii are studying how to use blockchain technology to improve the economy, such as opening bitcoin and other monetary payment means to facilitate tourists' transaction of local goods and services. In this way, the Hawaiian government hopes to attract tourists, especially those from Asia, to spend more money in the local area and improve the economic development of Hawaii
homeland security
in 2016, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a project that will use blockchain technology as a means of secure storage and capture of data transmission. DHS uses Factom's blockchain technology to encrypt and store data captured by security cameras and other sensors. The application of this blockchain technology will greatly rece the risk of data leakage. At present, the project is still in progress
maritime transportation
it is self-evident that blockchain is used to record ship transportation data. At present, some local shipping projects have adopted distributed ledger technology. In the maritime logistics instry, blockchain technology can make the inevitable cumbersome management proceres in international trade more transparent and orderly. Maersk, one of the world's largest shippers, is a pioneer in the use of blockchain. Today, Yixing international shipping company Zim has also made follow-up use of blockchain technology.
What are the applications of blockchain in tourism? What problems can be solved
in the tourism instry, big data maturity, bundling and price increase, and information opacity have become the pain points of the current instry. When Ctrip becomes a channel brand and a dominant company, the so-called decentralization gives other similar companies the opportunity to decentralize the channels
at present, many technology start-ups are focusing on the technology of blockchain, because it will subvert many instries, including banking, health care, ecation and tourism. In fact, blockchain startups received about $1.8 billion in investment in 2017
blockchain in the tourism instry
I believe that everyone who goes out to travel will encounter some inconvenient things more or less. Even if they have made full preparations in the early stage, there will still be some other things that will affect the whole travel experience and mood. For example, long lines of security checks, identification ready, and being asked to give up a seat voluntarily e to overbooking
Secondly, there will be fraud, which is very important. The annual loss of travel agencies is as high as 0.44%, and 4% of the plane bookings are rejected e to fraud. All of these problems will cost the tourism instry 4.8 billion dollars every yearand blockchain can solve these problems well. The following are the application cases of blockchain in tourism
According to statistics, up to 40 million travel documents have been recorded as lost or stolen in recent years. However, through biometrics and blockchain, identity and travel files can be recorded and stored permanently, which can be accessed with a single click. We don't have to print multiple documents for multiple checkpoints on the trip. Credit card information can also be easily stored. Airplanes, hotels and passports can streamline travelers' equipment, and government agencies can handle tourists more safely2. Smart contract
blockchain has been used to consolidate the contract between enterprises, and neither party can change the terms. In the tourism instry, there is a huge space for smart contracts. Travelers and travel agents will record all transactions in one block; Loyalty programs and tourist points can be stored in blocks; The commission agreement among airlines, hotels and booking agents will also clearly distinguish who gets the fee and when; The company agreement signed with the travel agency can be preserved forever without doubt or hidden expenses
3. Avoiding fraud
as far as I know, there were about 55 million consumers booking third-party platforms that they thought belonged to hotels last year. In fact, these websites were operated by fraudsters. It not only caused the direct loss of consumers, but also affected the reputation of the hotel concerned
if it is applied to blockchain technology, it will effectively solve the above problems and help consumers verify ownership. In addition, with the characteristics of storing documents and identities in block form, travel agencies do not need to manually check whether these reservations are marked as potential fraud. Tourist information can be safely accessed through the blockchain, and the loss caused by fraud will be significantly reced
4. Overbooking
this is an old headache for tourists who may be kicked off the plane because no one is willing to give up their seats. The government is even taking regulatory measures to punish airlines for such acts. Through the blockchain, passengers will have higher security, their reservations will be stored in a block safely, and airlines will be forced to give up the practice of overbooking
in addition, tourism involves various service instries, and there are many different consumption points plans in the process of travel. It's just that all kinds of scoring systems are complicated and isolated from each other, and customers don't know the details very well. This not only affects the interests of customers, but also brings trouble to tourism companies. If we use the blockchain technology to unify these points plans into the shared ledger, and use a wallet to manage points, we may be able to solve these long-standing problems
leou online culture and tourism platform is the world's first blockchain tourism platform covering six tourism fields, such as food, housing, transportation, tourism, shopping and entertainment. It transforms the old points system of enterprises to a certain extent and transforms it into new points independently issued by enterprises with blockchain as the underlying technology, realizing free trading and exchange of points, Make the best use of the service and function of points, help the service providers to achieve customer drainage, and help the tourism consumers to obtain greater benefits

Each ID information owner will have a string of keys, which only the information owner knows
7. Verify housing information
airbnb provides more than 2 million housing information from 191 countries and has received 60 million customers. P2P hotel website has achieved some success in optimizing the one-stop process of hotel leasing. It is also exploring the verification of housing information, establishing a short message communication system to enable customers to communicate with homeowners, and improving the payment experience
8. Electronic identity management
in Estonia, blockchain technology has been applied to the development of electronic identity projects. It is reported that non Estonian residents are allowed to apply for e-citizenship in the country, similar to a permanent residence card or identity card, which enables these residents to enjoy a series of services provided by the country. At present, Estonia uses this program to encourage talented people from all over the world to start their own businesses. Such plans will greatly promote the development of tourism in some destinations. You can pay more attention to bitMom
