Transparency. no secrets, no hiding, not relying on trust.
Security. since you able to check yourself you dont have the need to rely on others, you use math. traceability, transparency make security must stronger then in conventional security.
Improved traceability. since transparency is so high anyone can trace every transaction
Increased speed and effienciency. Mostly everything is ran by computers and depending on the chain each transaction can be incredibly fast.
Reduced cost. Not only do you cut out the middle man but most inpotantly the amount of time, time is a huge factor in cost.

Transparency
An effective accountability mechanism is assured due to the 100% transparent nature of blockchain which allows anyone to view public transaction ledger. This helps ensures responsible behavior by all parties involved.
Security
Due to the robust security capabilities of blockchain, no one can hack into the blockchain and change or duplicate information. This is achieved utilizing strong encryption support within the blockchain protocol which then helps ensure each node being able to verify the same block, without being compromised, allowing to provide a trust-less platform for conducting safe transactions online.
Traceability
Because of the transparent & real-time audit trail feature of blockchain, it is possible to trace or track each step of a supply chain to prevent fraud and help verify the authenticity of the traded assets as well as to help prove ownership.
Efficiency
because no middlemen or a central hub is required to facilitate transactions the efficiency of blockchain and the transaction processing is enhanced. This allows for secure and faster trading between parties and is enabled by making use of a standardized network and secure protocols to help ensure transaction integrity, asset authenticity, or proof of ownership is done quickly and efficiently.
Reduced costs
This is because there are fewer intermediaries involved or required to transact and the IT and network infrastructure to run the blockchain is already in place and one just needs to understand how to integrate into this ecosystem.

Transparency - blockchain is a type of distributed ledger, all network participants share a continuously updated version that publicly displays all transactions. In order to alter or falsify historical information on this network, it would require collusion of the overwhelming majority of participants.
-
Security - all devices participating in the network must verify transactions in consensus with one another. After a transaction is approved it cannot be altered and is encrypted and linked to previous transactions.
-
Traceability - blockchain provides a time stamp along with an accompanying address which can be tied back to the originating block, as a result it is easier to authenticate the origin and quality of a supply chain.
-
Increased efficiency and speed - There is a single digital ledger that everyone has access to so intermediaries are not needed which increases speed and efficiency.
-
Reduced cost - No need for third parties or intermediaries which means less money going to these services. To complete a trade you don’t need to review documentation because everyone have permissioned access to a single immutable version.

Transparency: Data is publicly available on the blockchain. Blockchain is run on multiple nodes sharing the same ledger. If a data is on the blockchain it means it was verified by the miners, so that data is valid.
Security: No single point of failure. Data on the blockchain has been verified by multiple nodes. Data cannot be altered or removed.
Improved traceability: You can track transactions from hop to hop, so you can trace back the origins.
Increased efficiency and speed: Does not require paper trail or human interaction.
Reduced cost: Does not need huge centralized infrastructures, multiple levels of security or middle men for constant data verification.

Explain with your own words, why these are the benefits of using a blockchain.
Transparency:
Transparency is a benefit of using a Blockchain as it provides everyone with the same information and is readily available to view.
Security:
The security element of this technology is another benefit as once information has been confirmed and added to the ledger, it cannot be altered or removed. The network is secured by a number of different computers, validating information to be true. This gives confidence that all the data is accurate.
Improved traceability:
A blockchain system allows for transactions and goods to be traced back to it’s original source. This is a huge benefit as it indicates a products true value. Allowing customers to trace the origin of their products gives the assurance of it’s authenticity. Information is constantly being updated, creating a ‘real-time’ audit.
Increased efficiency and speed:
All transactions can be processed in a timely manner with blockchain technology as the information that has been processed before hand can be trusted to be true. Because there is no intermediator, there is no need to delay transactions, that would often be the case if a 3rd person was required to process the information.
Reduced cost:
As there is no ‘middle man’ required to process the information, the costs of transactions become lower. When information is readily available, in an open source way, this reduces the need for different sectors of a business. Information can be quickly accessed without the extra cost of trusting a third party to manage the data.

Transparency - Because everything on the blockchain is recorded and shared on a single digital ledger that is copied across a network of computers, it makes it impossible for a transaction to be manipulated without affecting every copy of the ledger across the network. It also allows anyone with access to the network to see the entire transaction history of that network. This allows for a “trustless” environment.
-
Security - Because a blockchain network isn’t controlled by a single, central entity, but instead democratized across a large network of computers - it makes it very hard for the information to be hacked or manipulated.
-
Improved traceability - Because blockchain is a chain of transactions - where every block is linked to every other previous block - it makes it easy to track a specific product in a complex supply chain from its first recorded history in the chain to its last.
-
Increased efficiency and speed - Because blockchain is a digital ledger agreed upon across a network of computers - reliable data can be easily obtained without the cumbersome process of involving middlemen or relying on heaps of paperwork that could be even more time-delaying if there are any unfortunate human-errors.
-
Reduced cost - Sometimes reducing costs means cutting corners - but with blockchain you can reduce cost and get a better, “trustless” result. You effectively cut out middlemen, who siphon a bit of money from every transaction, and you also reduce man-hours dedicated to paper record-keeping.

Everything within a blockchain is transparent because it is accessible and available within one point of call rather than on different documentation and third parties. The security of the network is in everyone’s interest especially the miners who are incentivised to protect and authorise transactions therfore everything is traceable and transparent with reduced costs because it cuts out the middle men and intermediaries because of the trust less nature of block chain. Blockchains speed of transactions compared to the central system is exquisite as it cuts out the paperwork and everything is done online and can be finalised within minutes or seconds therefore improving speed and efficiency.

- Transparency
All the transactions and data are attached to the block after the process of maximum trust verification. There is a consensus of all the ledger participants on what is to be recorded in the block. The individuals who are provided authority can view the transaction.
2, Security
The transactions stored in the blocks are contained in millions of computers participating in the chain. Hence it is decentralised. There is no possibility that the data if lost cannot be recovered. - Improved traceability
The transactions are recorded in chronological order. All the blocks in the blockchain are time stamped. - Increased efficiency and speed
Computing power across a decentralized network increases speed and efficiency as opposed to a centralized system. - Reduced cost: Less administrative costs and less costs associated with reviewing and checking transactions etc. Reduced risk of fraud too.

Transparency: Blockchain provides a single immutable source of data distributed over many nodes,that anyone can access to verify.
Security: Entries in a block are secured by consensus and a cryptographic hash. This is computationally expensive, so data can not be rolled back or changed.
Improved traceability: Everyone commits transactions the the blockchain - the single source of immutable truth , that’s replicated to everyone, as can be verified directly. There’s no delay whilst waiting for third parties to perfom maintenance or whatever,
Increased efficiency and speed: Again since eveyonr contributes directly to the single ledger there’s no cumbersome paper trail or lost documents to deal with
Reduced cost: time and money are saved by dealing directly with the blockchain vs additional thirdparties and middlemen, and the additional trust required.

Explain with your own words, why these are the benefits of using a blockchain.
Transparency: Blockchain is a distributed ledger which means that everyone who has access to a particular blockchain is using the same copy instead of having individual records, which in turn eliminates the risk of manipulation. The data on the blockchain can only ever be changed if all the participants reach a common consensus which makes it virtually impossible to change, duplicate or forge any confirmed entries.
Security: Before a transaction Is approved it must be reach consensus on the network that it in fact should be recorded. Every approved transaction is then connected to the previous one. Because the data is stored by all participants on the network it is much more difficult(almost impossible) to manipulate in any way.
Financial services, healthcare or the food industry can benefit from using blockchain as it creates security and transparency for their customers as it will remove any doubts of the authenticity of data.
Improved traceability: Long supply chains can be tricky to deal with in terms of knowing the origin of all products. Blockchain technology leaves an audit trail that verifies every stop a ingredient has made on its way to becoming the finished product. Hence blockchain technology verifies the authenticity and prevents fraud.
Increased efficiency and speed:
Without using blockchain, trading or transporting assets within a supply chain can be very tedious, time consuming and prone to errors. Also, a third party may be needed to act as an intermediary. As blockchain can automate all of the paperwork and time consuming processes and execute it in real time it increases speed and is by far more effective. As all participants are using the same digital ledger no reconciliation is needed.
Reduced cost:
All companies want to be more profitable and blockchain does this by reducing the amount of trust needed because the data on the blockchain can be verified and trust at any moment. Reviewing tedious documentation and verifying data manually becomes obsolete as everyone has access to the same ledger and less “middle-men” are needed.

Explain with your own words, why these are the benefits of using a blockchain.
Transparency: Greater transparency is achieved because every node on the network has a copy of the same ledger. Everyone can see the same information, and it isn’t updated unless every node on the network agrees.
Security: Increased security is achieved because of multiple computers holding the same data. It is much harder to compromise an entire network than a single computer. And, by way of mining incentives, even if some part of the network goes down, others will be incentivized to pick up the slack.
Improved traceability: Every transaction on the blockchain is recorded and ‘traceable’. Real time auditing becomes a possibility. Complex supply chain management on the blockchain allows far more data to be tracked in a transparent, decentralized way.
Increased efficiency and speed: Maintaining data records is generally a tedious, error-prone process because of the amount of human labour it involves with the current system. Blockchain being transparent allows a lot of that human power to be redirected, thus producing far more efficient outcomes.
Reduced cost: Similar to increased efficiency, the reduced human capital required to maintain records/accurate data would be drastically reduced, thus potentially lowering labour costs, and increasing the amount produced relative to expenditure.
