It’s hard to imagine the modern world without secure online transactions and all the transformations they insert. We will mention below the benefits of blockchain that hugely influence the reality of lots of industries. Certainly, all this situation leads to new business opportunities in relation to security, advanced accountability, higher efficiency, and transparency.
“What the internet did for communications, I think blockchain will do for trusted transactions.” — this quote belongs to the CEO of IBM Ginni Rometty, and we couldn’t agree more.
Briefly, we can describe the blockchain as a shared, incommutable, peer-to-peer ledger of transactions. Practically, this means that new information can be written onto the ledger, but previous information, saved in blocks, cannot be changed or edited.
Suppose you are still hesitant, why blockchain is important and what are the advantages of blockchain technology for your business, in our article. In that case, we leave no gap between dry theory and pathos, immersing you deep into the practical details.
Today, when people hear about blockchain, they mostly think about cryptocurrency and how blockchain benefits here. But let’s reshape this association by giving a few examples where blockchain eliminates problems in other domains.
Of course, one can use blockchain in many other following projects: cloud storage, currency and transaction support, insurance, real estate, crowdfunding, charity.
Discover new business and industry opportunities by applying the capacity of the blockchain benefits, thus building trust and rewiring your business.
1. Higher efficiency. As there is no labor-intensive process prone to human error, mistakes, no need to enable payment systems, and the number of third-party mediation is reduced — transactions are processed much faster than usual. Optimization and automation of these processes owing to the use of blockchain, allowing more efficient completion of operations.
2. Advanced traceability. Suppose your company is dealing with a traded product with a complicated supply chain. In that case, the blockchain helps you to get an audit trail every time an item exchange is registered on the block diagram, which shows where the asset came from and every stop on its way.
3.Security. With digital signature and transaction encryption, the blockchain is much more secure than other storage systems. Once a transaction is approved, encrypted, and linked to the previous one — it can no longer be corrected because it’s impossible to change a complex string of mathematical numbers once formed.
4. Transparency. The transaction history becomes more transparent because of the blockсhain technology, as the transaction ledger for public addresses is open for viewing. Distributed ledgers allow network parties to share the same documentation – and this shared edition can only be updated with everyone’s permission. If there is a change in one transaction record, it will lead to changes in all the following records and the entire network’s collusion. In financial systems and businesses, this adds a level of responsibility, as every sector of the business is committed to behaving honestly towards the company’s growth, its community, and its customers.
Besides all the advantages that blockchain brings, you should realize when and why this technology is not a path you should take. So, blockchain technology is not an appropriate solution in the following cases:
1. Mutual trust of participants. Sometimes a blockchain may be the right choice in designing a software system, but traditional technologies will be more suitable for many purposes. If a system is used only within a single organization or organizational unit, it is rarely advisable to create it on the blockchain.
2. Publicity and speed are essential. Well-known, public blockchains are slow because of the limited network bandwidth and a large number of users. For instance, Visa is capable of processing more than 2000 transactions in a second.
3. Limited implementation costs. If you can relate, you should remember the following:
NIX has experienced cases on blockchain technology in different domains, so let us immerse you into two success stories of ours — when blockchain benefits.
Our team managed a challenging task to create and confidentially maintain health information about a patient while there are several independent participants in the process. In our case, there were three entities: Hospital – Parents – Elementary School.
We created a network and distributed the rights between different parties in it. Our health platform enables participants to do three critical things:

The researchers driving big science need better access to results sooner to solve the most significant challenges. There were the following barriers:
Using the ARTiFACTS platform, researchers can prove their ownership, the existence of new work, and provide access to this work for like-minded researchers to discover, use, and, even more importantly, provide real-time attribution and quoting. The platform generally helps them quickly create and showcase their research contributions — without waiting for a lengthy publication cycle with no guarantee of acceptance.
To learn more about the Artifacts project — look through our extended case study.
NIX experts implement optimal Blockchain solutions, depending on the clients’ needs and requirements for different domains with high security, confidentiality, and scalability.
We know precisely why blockchain isn’t for every client, so we won’t use its capabilities if it doesn’t add value to the business. Applying blockchain as a part of a solution, you should be confident that this technology solves your main problem point. It’s easy to be confused about the right solution, but our experts will help you understand all the pros and cons of each solution.
