Transparency:
On public blockchains, all users have the exact same access the all the transaction data.
This shared distributed ledger allow to keep track of all transactions history so everything is visible and not hidden like older systems could be.
Security:
Each time a transaction is added to the ledger, it is systematically approved by the blockchain, then encrypted and append to the last one.
By design, a blockchain is distributed so there is no single point of failure so it makes really hard for hackers to take the control of it and compromised dataâŚ
Improved traceability:
If any supply chain relies on blockchain technologies, then all exchanges of any assets will be tracked on it. It can prevents frauds on the origin of those assets and their quality. As all participants can have direct & quick access to those chains of assets, it can help companis to bring a certified quality to final consumers.
Increased efficiency and speed:
First of all, all the contracts are now digitalized in the blockchain, so it is faster to exchange value because there is potentially less intermediaries.
Secondly, all the participants of the ecosystem is sharing the same standards, it is the blockchain, so it is not neccessary to build bridges between companies as it is widely done now.
Reduced cost:
Trusting the blockchain and the math calculation behind it will replace many intermediaries who were playing the role of mediator between two entities. Therefore companies will remove those useless costs by adoptiong blockchain technologies.
