Pegged by some as ‘the next internet’, blockchain is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to go far beyond being a secure protocol underpinning bitcoin currencies.
In our age of advanced cyber threats and growing volumes of valuable data, distributed ledger technologies like blockchain offer instant verification of ‘trust’ that records ownership through a shared registry or consensus mechanism – without the need for a central authority.
