Transparency:
transaction ledger for public addresses is open to viewing. -
Security:
Each new transaction is encrypted and linked to the previous transaction. Blockchain is formed by a complex string of math numbers that cannot be altered once created. -
Improved traceability:
Every new added record has to register its origin which also helps to establish authenticity of the traded asset. -
Increased efficiency and speed:
Lack of a middle man and the ability for transaction on a peer to peer basis increases efficiency and speed. -
Reduced cost:
No middleman fee, less resources involved in the transaction guaranty gains in monetary terms, effort and time of execution.

Transparency: A blockchain is a public ledger. This means that everyone can see all transactions within this ledger. This ensures that a layer of accountability is added.
Security: As every new block and thus every new transaction is connected to the previous one, it is impossible to change a block withut changing the other blocks. Also, every node (the whole network) owns a copy of the blockchain, and they have to reach consensus about the transactions being valid to add a block to the chain. So if a hacker were to try and hack the network, he would have to change all the copies of all these nodes, which is near impossible. Another concept that enables security, is the fact that this technology is trustless. We donât have to trust a central authority, we can just verify and do the math.
Improved traceability: Because of the transparency in blockchain, it is easy to trace information. In supply lanes for example, we could trace back where all the different primal products come from and what their properties were. We can trace the whole production process that they followed, until we have the finished product in the stores. Again, this takes away trust in a company, people can just verify the chain and do the math.
Increased efficiency and speed: Middlemen are generally costly in terms of time and money. Also, we have to trust this middlemen. With blockchain technology, we erase this. We pay less, we know exactly how much and what for and it takes little time to complete the transaction. Also, we can do the math and we donât have to trust in the competences of a middleman.
Reduced cost: As mentioned in the previous paragraph, a middleman is often way more costly than a transaction on the blockchain. Also, we canât be scammed, we know exactly how much and why we have to pay.

Transparency:
On the ledger, all transactions are open an can be viewed by everybody. This at a unique layer of accountability for anybody taking part in transactions within the blockchain.
Security:
Every transactions is linked to other transactions verified by the nodes within a block. If a transaction is verified, its final, no possibility to remove the information out of the database. Security is also not dependend from a central party but generated by a multipolar verification process, removing trust.
Improved traceability:
Each time a transaction is verified on the blockchain, this presents an audit trail in real time for businesses to document for example how the supply chain for their product comes together, removing trust out of the supply chain.
Increased efficiency and speed:
As one of the main advantages of the blockchain is removing trust, this leads to independency of any middlemen or central party enabling transactions. Peer to Peer transactions make the process much more efficent and fast then centralised transaction processes.
Reduced cost:
Reduction of costs can come in various areas of a business thats transforms to the blockchain. There is no need for example to pay for datastorage in a centralised datacenter like AWS or MSA, when all information can be view transparently on the ledger of a blockchain. Also, there would be no need for example to pay a firm for auditing a business, if every business transaction is audited in real time on the blockchain in the moment it occures.

Transparency: The blockchain is an open ledger that everyone can check for information, dates/times of transactions, etc. Nothing is hidden
Security: Because it is transparent and immutable and because the blockchain is verified by a decentralized network, the blockchain becomes secure and therefore the information becomes valuable. A centralized database can be hacked or changed, and therefore is insecure.
Improved traceability: Each part of the the chain is verified and immutable, so bad information will either be rejected by the network or can easily be held accountable.
Increased efficiency and speed: Blockchain can remove the need for middlemen in different markets through the use of smart contracts, and peer to peer transactions.
Reduced cost: Removing intermediary, unnecessary transactions and improving the security of the transactions will reduce costs in that there will be no fraudulent behavior and unnecessary steps in the process

Transparency: BlockChain transactions are available for anyone to see and this allows for companies / users to have full traceability of each transaction.
Security: BlockChain transactions cannot be reversed and is stored in a block that is linked into the predecessor and successor transaction chain. It is also stored on a wide network of computers making it virtually impossible to hack.
Improved traceability: As each transaction is linked to previous transactions it is for example to go back into the transaction history to establish for example if ethical sourcing partices were applied in the formulation of a product or service.
Increased efficiency and speed: BlockChain technology is fast and efficient as it does not require intermediaries or complicated red tape to verify transactions or process payments or test transactions against coded conditions set out in smart contracts.
Reduced cost: The relative efficiency of BlockChain transactions cuts through layers of additional red tape to verify transactions and are easily auditable and verifiable by anyone.

Explain with your own words, why these are the benefits of using a blockchain.
-
Transparency:
Blockchain technology creates a more transparent network by replacing centralized and private ledgers with that which is decentralized, local, and public to the individual - exchanging the need for trust, for individual verification. -
Security:
Blockchain technology creates a more secure network through immutable decentralized consensus protocols. -
Improved traceability:
Blockchain technology improves traceability within the network through its immutability - every transaction can be traced back to the genesis of its blockchain. -
Increased efficiency and speed:
Blockchain technology increases efficiency and speed within the network by enabling peer-to-peer transactions and eliminating the time* required for a central authority to mediate the transaction. -
Reduced cost:
Blockchain technology reduces cost within the network for the same reason it increases both efficiency and speed - it enables peer-to-peer transactions and eliminates the cost* of a central authority to mediate the transaction.

Through transparency people can actually trust more because itâs trustless, this also gives the improved traceability and the ability to save all the data in a secure fashion in order to be traced. Through this all be done digitally it doesnât rely on people in a office having to punch in the data, which make the speed and ease very quick and efficient. And since it runs all faster with less middle men or in between companies, itâs a whole lot cheaper as well.

Transparency: Block chains are transparent because they are publicly available for inspection and contain a history of all transactions. Verification can be pushed out to the network edge.
Security: Security is supported by complex hashing algorithms that create digital signatures from the blockchain owners private keys. So a blockchain can be viewed by anyone but only altered by the owner.
Improved traceability: All transactions are chained together so you know what happened and when it happened.
Increased efficiency and speed: Blockchain owners are able to exchange their blockchain with other people directly.
Reduced cost: Because people can now do transactions peer to peer and have the system automatically audit any transactions there is no need to pay middlemen for services now provided by the protocol

Transparency: all the transactions are stored on blockchain and are public accessible
Security: blockchain uses a lot of ledgers all over the world that are constantly checking if transaction is true or falls. if the majority of ledger disagree the information isnt real
Improved traceability: the data on blockchain can not be changed and is permanent.
Increased efficiency and speed: works 24/7/365. there is no middle man to verify the transaction but the ledgers check themself. No chance in human error because protocol do the work
Reduced cost: removes the 3rd party trust brokers and less use of paper because its digital

Transparency: Since the information contained in a blockchain exists on a distributed network of computers, the data truly is accessible to anyone who wants to look. This implies many beneficial use cases: ie.
-Cases where data access has been traditionally cumbersome.
-Cases where social/political power has kept certain data inaccessible for reasons of control.
And the community is constantly coming up with novel uses, as well as cases for those uses.
Security: Tampering with data that has already recorded history on the blockchain would require tech that doesnât exist yet. Itâs secure. And thatâs fantastic for a majority of use cases.
Improved traceability: Itâs pretty cool that an audit trail is generated every time a transaction is committed to the blockchain. My favorite use cases for this property are the ones that involve supply chains. Donât think too hard about how many ways tracking the history and movement of a product or material could be incredibly useful and powerful.
Increased efficiency and speed: Well⌠in some ways, yes In other, not yet. There are ever-new ways of implementing a blockchain, and some a pretty cool and pretty quick. Others, not so much. The centrality of data does help with clerical-type requests, I suppose. But changing data isnât like ctrl+S just yet.
Reduced cost: Yeah, if implemented correctly in the right context, it can be amazing for cost reduction. But at this point I can see how many companies could fail to take the best advantage of this technology. In the future there will be more cost-reducing examples of blockchain implementations.

Transparency is a benefit of using blockchain because any transaction can be verified and authenticated by anyone. By removing trust between multiple unknown parties, everyone is able to trust the network and the protocol.
Security is a benefit of blockchain because of the decentralized nature of blockchain. The decentralization makes it much more difficult for bad actors to alter or tamper with information
Traceability of blockchain has many benefits. It also removes blind trust from suppliers by tracking products or ingredients. Being immutable keeps people and businesses honest.
The increased efficiency and speed are due to the fact that all transactions use the same format and are stored in the same place. Intermediaries slow down processes and are less efficient.
The reduced cost of blockchain is also thanks to the consistency in format and being on the same platform. Being decentralized also cuts out a lot of middlemen which helps to reduce cost.

Blockchain is a chain of blocks and every block is a network of computers. When there is something changed the other computers have to verify the thing that is changed. Because of this its impossible to change something and try to scam people.
Improved traceability
Because everytime something is added to the blockchain it is visible for everybody. That makes it easier to see what has happened to products for instance from producing to end product. Everything that has been added is visible for public viewing.
Increased efficiency and speed
Because you donât need an actual person to verify all kind of information when it is on the blockchain. Agreements can be put in a smart contract and therefore much faster to use and visible for everyone. Its from user to user without a person or company in between.
Reduced cost
Because you can cut the middlemen. Its from user to user and thats where you can reduce the costs.

Transparency gives everyone the possibility to act responsible , to act on behalf of truth , impossible to hide any details of transactions.
The security comes from the fact that we donât need Trust to make the transactions, you just verify mathematically, also transparency makes the blockchain secure, the decentralization also improves the security.
With improved traceability we can reach the trade involved parts and check the authenticity of the products traded.
We can make international transactions without any regulations regarding the territory , we can transfer larger amounts of currency without the need to be approved or limited by a central authority like the banks . So itâs fast and efficient
The costs are reduced because we donât need middlemen , the transactions are straight forward, peer to peer trough the blockchain.

The benefits of using blockchain technology:
Transparency: Blockchains have transparent transcations because of the nature of the distributed ledger.That means that all parties have a copy of the same ledger on the blockchain, and agree on the state of the blockchain through consensus.
Security: Transactions are mathematicaly encrypted and linked togther in a chain to the previous transactions thus meaning the data cannot be manipulated with.
Improved traceability: Blockchain has a verified audit trail, so each participant in the blockchain can see movements of transactions.
Increased efficiency and speed: Blockchain removes the need for middlemen or third parties for transaction verification in transactions which makes them a lot faster and efficient.
Reduced cost: As mentioned before, the data on the blockchain can be trusted by all parties to avoid intermediaries and that would reduce the cost and time. All of the previous benefits lead to reduced cost.
