  1. How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
    Blockchain allows enables provenance as every transaction is written on the blockchain and cannot be removed, as there is a network of ledgers that confirms between each other if the new information is correct.
  2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
    In a normal database information is controlled by one entity - not a network, as well as it can be altered.
  3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
    It allows to verify transactions instantly, without the need for the whole database to be controlled by one entity.

How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
The Blockchain is a permanent ledger of trustless stored transactions that remove the need of centralization. Its open source information can only be added and never removed

Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?

Information can be modified and is not permanent

Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
Everything in digital provenance is trustless and on chain recorded data, which allows verification and transparency.

1.How does blockchain enable digital provenance ?
With blockchain you can do an audit in real time , which means you can track or trace things.
2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance ?
A normal database is control by someone and you have to put your trust in that person/company but with digital provenance you don’t trust the person/company, you verify using the blockchain.
3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many business ?
Digital provenance brings more trust to businesses because you can do an audit or verify in real time

  1. The blocks on the blockchain are immutable, the blockchain is decentralized, no “one” entity has ownership
  2. Normal database is centralized, has an owner. It is mutable and therefore you must trust the owner/administrator to not make changes
  3. Digital provenance allows you to not have to “trust”. It is trustless. The digital provenance does the verification for you.

  1. How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
    By the power of the immutable digital Viking Stone, the digital ledger that can be verified by anyone. The ledger contains information about all transactions and actions that go into any product, physical and perhaps digital. Only by participating in the blockchain can you add information to the ledger. The whole process is trustless and built into the blockchain. There is no need for ny trusted companies to verify transactions or actions that go into making and delivering and selling a product.

  2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance? A normal database is not immutable in the same sense as the Viking Stone. A normal database can probably be verified, but you will need to trust a company or companies that everything has been handled correctly. Or you will have to trust the authorities.

  3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses? Based on the blockchain you can get speed, low cost and real time verification. Companies know what they are buying and their customers can as easily verify what they are buying.

Homework - Provenance

a blockchain is a ledger that allows for transactions to be openly tracked and confirmed. it’s a transparent record providing digital provenance for the objects it tracks. the ledger is immutable, preventing duplication and deletion.

a typical (centralized) database can be modified by the owner, malicious actor, or accidental data loss. entries can be changed or deleted. to use information from the database a user must trust the third party. centralization also means some users may be blocked from accessing the database.

digital provenance allows for trust-less transactions and real time auditing. these features bring transparency to the processes they track, leading to lower costs and higher customer satisfaction. participants agree on the validity of the ledger rather than relying on a third (centralized) party. this enables things like decentralized finance, supply chain verification, identity confirmation, and more.

Homework on Provenance - Questions

  1. How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
    Blockchain guarantees that all the data is protected and cannot be corrupted while at the same time being public.

  2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
    Normal database is not descentralized, is not public, is not transparent and it is not traceble.

  3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
    Because it can cut cost and allow an unbiased, objective, infromation and accountability reggarding any data that we want to trace or have clarity over.

  1. Blockchain enables Provenance by having a publicly available ledger of all transactions. This transparency allows for the accounting of all transactions made on the blockchain.

  2. A normal database does not provide the same transparency as the blockchain because it relies mostly on trust from peer to peer.

  3. Digital provenance would be a great benefit to business as it would allow for complete supply chain transparency and negate the need for trust as the supply chain is available to be audited at any time.

  2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
    You must trust a 3rd party, while on the blockchain you can easily verify onchain. Records will always remain on the chain and can not be falsified.

  3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
    You do not need to trust a 3rd party.

  1. How does blockchain enable digital provenance?
    The immutability of a ledger entry prohibits malicious or incompetent actors from removing, hiding or falsifying information about assets or transactions. At the same time its decentralized nature allows all participants in the network to independently verify its authenticity.
  2. Why doesn’t a normal database bring the same provenance?
    Conventional databases are mostly centralized and controlled by a restricted group of actors with rights to add, change or remove information with limited oversight from the public/users/customers/etc. Even though changes to a database can usually be observed and scrutinized in hindsight they don’t have that built in mechanism where stacking one block on top of the previous one consolidates the credibility of everything that has been recorded before.
  3. Why is digital provenance such a great benefit to many businesses?
    It can strengthen their credibility and reputation with their customers and investors because it provides transparency for their business processes. On top of that it can reduce operational costs through the conflation of accounting and auditing.
