Blockchain has experienced remarkable growth in a relatively short span of time. In the business realm, blockchain offers several ways to level the playing field between small and large organizations. All parties possess exact copies of immutable, time-stamped data, allowing for real-time transaction visibility. Data blocks are cryptographically linked, ensuring traceability of all raw materials. Smart contracts eliminate the need for intermediaries, facilitating ease of audit and reduced friction. The trust, transparency, security, quality, and cost-reduction benefits of blockchain make it a transformative technology that spans sectors, industries, and borders effortlessly.

Authored by an experienced professional with a wealth of expertise in global retailers, global technology companies, the UCL Centre for Blockchain Technologies, the UK government, the Retail Blockchain Consortium, and numerous other sources, this timely book provides real-world case studies on the use and benefits of blockchain. Topics covered include financial transactions, tokenization, identity management, supply chain transparency, global shipping and freight, counterfeiting, and more.
