www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my Business networks, wealth/value and integration

– Business Networks benefit from connectivity • Participants are customers, suppliers, banks, partners • Cross geography & regulatory boundary

– Wealth or Value is generated by the flow of goods, services or information across business network in transactions and contracts – Integration or Markets are central to this process: • Public (fruit market, car auction), or • Private (supply chain financing, bonds) © 2018 IBM Corporation

Ledgers are key

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

Ledger is THE system of record for a business. Business will have multiple ledgers for multiple business networks in which they participate. – Transaction – an asset transfer onto or off the ledger • John gives a car to Anthony (simple)

– Contract – conditions for transaction to occur • If Anthony pays John money, then car passes from John to Anthony (simple) • If car won't start, funds do not pass to John (as decided by third party arbitrator) (more complex) © 2018 IBM Corporation

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my Permissioned vs Non-Permissioned Blockchains

•

For its use in government and large scale industry applications – a Permissioned Blockchain will need to be leveraged – –

•

Permissioned Blockchains will also be the right point to include adding of the Consumer/Citizen – –

•

Non-Permissioned Blockchains – such as bitcoin – use “Proof of Work” and other mechanisms to establish trust (because there is no central authority) Permissioned Blockchains have specific characteristics that will be required for Government’s use of Blockchain

Can leverage either an existing identity management solution or building this capability into Blockchain itself Adding Consumer/Citizen interaction in the Blockchain unlocks a whole new set of use cases and value

The Hyperledger Project defines an open standard and open source solution for a Permissioned Blockchain - https://www.hyperledger.org/

What is Blockchain?

Why is it relevant?

Getting Started With Blockchain

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my12

Blockchain eliminates these challenges • Eliminates data silos • Allows organizations to share networks without compromising data privacy, security or integrity. • Supports data encryption and permission settings for participants and third parties • Provides provenance of what happened when

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

• Allows a auditors or regulators to view transactions at any time and be certain they are looking at the single version of the truth • Ensures immutability of the chain which eradicates fraud and abuse • Enables immediate deployment of policy to all members of a network at the same time

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my13

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my IBM Blockchain

Common Use Case: Supply chain What

How

• Provenance of each component part in complex system hard to track

Blockchain startup Everledger is tapping Watson and other IBM • Manufacturer, production date, batch and even the technologies to underpin its tracking of manufacturing machine program the provenance of more than 1.2 • Blockchain holds complete provenance details of million diamonds globally. each component part

• Accessible by each manufacturer in the production “This is what the blockchain does at its core. It is a shared ledger process, the aircraft owners, maintainers and government regulators technology that allows participants in Benefits

• Trust increased, no authority "owns” provenance

a business network to transact assets where everyone has control but no one person is in control,” - Leanne Kemp, Founder & CEO @ Everledger www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my14

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my IBM Blockchain

Common Use Case: Audit and compliance What

How

Benefits

• Data in large organizations is dispersed throughout many divisions and geographies • Audit and Compliance needs indelible record of all key transactions over reporting period • Blockchain collects transaction records from diverse set of systems • Append-only and tamperproof qualities create a high confidence audit trail • Privacy features to ensure authorized user access • Lowers cost of audit and regulatory compliance • Provides “seek and find” access to auditors and regulators • Changes nature of compliance from passive to active

Delaware has announced that it expects to introduce “smart UCC” filings that “will (1) automate the release or renewal of UCC filings and related collateral, (2) increase the speed of searching UCC records, (3) reduce mistakes and fraud and (4) cut cost.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/northwesternmutual/2018/10/12/whymore-companies-are-offering-financial-wellness-benefits/#40a737f54709

UCC

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my15

Uniform Commercial Code

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my IBM Blockchain

Common Use Case : Shared reference data

What

How Benefits

• Competitors/collaborators in a business network need to share reference data • Each member maintains their own codes, and forwards changes to a central authority for collection and distribution • An information subset can be owned by organizations • Each participant maintains their own codes within a Blockchain network • Blockchain creates single view of entire dataset • Consolidated, consistent dataset reduces errors • Near real-time access to reference data • Naturally supports code editing and routing code transfers between participants

Patient Cost Liability Estimation • Use blockchain to bring together provider pricing, insurance eligibility, and claims data in real-time to provide transparency into cost estimates • Aggregate data for common procedures or services along with claims data to create 16 standard models for pricing www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my IBM Blockchain

Common Use Case: Identity What

Allow consumers, patients and citizens to easily assert identity Make it faster, easier and more secure to verify identity, for example, opening a bank account or apply to rent an apartment

How

Use Blockchain technology to create its identity management solution

Benefits

Frictionless you-are-you experience

SecureKey innovates consumer identity protection with IBM Blockchain technology “When I show up at a bank and I want to create a bank account, I have to prove that I am who I say I am,” explains Greg Wolfond, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SecureKey. “Sometimes I bring a driver’s license or other documents. But it takes 30 minutes. And there are lots of opportunities for fraud. For example, someone can have a fake driver’s license issued in my name, be able to pretend to be me, and open a fraudulent bank account using my credentials... Identity is much more valuable than money... We turned to blockchain and started working on Hyperledger because we didn’t see another technology that could solve this problem the way we www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my17 wanted.”

Solution •

• •

Use Blockchain to capture medications, monitor adherence and provide patient reminders If a pharmacy runs out of a product, the medication will be automatically delivered to the patient’s home Incentivizes patients to interact with the medication reminder platform through a reward based systems

Benefits • •

Healthcare providers spend more time educating Low adherence patients increase their chances to correctly take the treatment

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my22 Blockchains and Pharmacies: a New Way of Leveraging Medication Adherence

Claims Settlement, Adjudication and Billingwww.blockchainhq.blogspot.my Management Challenges • •

Fraud: Healthcare fraud costs the nation between $68 billion and $230 billion annually (between 3-10 % by varying estimates) Errors: health insurance companies are averaging a 19.3 percent error rate

Solution • • •

Automate claim adjudication and payment processing with Blockchain Consensus enables disintermediation and trustless exchange with predefined smart contracts Pay for outcomes and incentive-based behavioral health programs, leveraging smart contracting features

Benefits •

Significantly improve inefficiencies in billing and insurance-related (BIR) activities • Direct payment of incentive and health tokens toward positive and healthy behavior by members/patients • Reduced number of disputes/ frauds regarding claims settlement by eliminating the human judgment factor to speed up claim processing • Improve healthcare revenue cycle management and reduce payment inefficiencies for providers www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my23 © 2018 IBM Corporation

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

Challenges • •

•

Clinical trial data often sits in silos and cannot always easily understand how therapies work in real patient populations Clinical trials are very controlled and may not provide data on valuable areas like growth rate kinetics Trials also often exclude critical populations like pregnant women.

Solution • • •

Use blockchain to aggregate real-time real-world patient data and report out to researchers Data could be patient-reported or collected from patient follow ups Data collected in clinical trials shared across NIH, FDA, academia, industry is stored in Blockchain.

Benefits •

•

Improved sharing of data could lead to increased opportunities to publish new studies or create new indications Better understand of the heterogeneity of effects of drugs or medical devices Blockchain technology for improving clinical research quality

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my24

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my Drug Supply Chain Integrity with Remote Auditing

Challenges • Counterfeiting: Pharma companies lose $200 billion annual due to counterfeit drugs globally; an estimated 30% of the drugs sold in developing countries are counterfeit • Theft: Drugs account for about 15% of the estimated $8 billion to $12 billion in annual cargo theft, according to FreightWatch International Solution • Blockchain-based chain-of-custody log to track each step of the supply chain by individual product/drug (Provenance) • Remote process auditing with Blockchain verified source of truth (Smart contracts) Benefits • Improved drug traceability across the supply chain; check drug counterfeiting, thus reducing industry losses. • Health authorities and regulatory institutions can safeguard citizens by requiring proof of identity (or license) to detect/minimize counterfeit drugs • Patients can directly participate in medication adherence and loyalty programs to avail incentives © 2018 IBM Corporation

What makes a good blockchain use case? – Identifying a good blockchain use-case is not always easy! – However there should always be: 1. A business problem to be solved • That cannot be solved with more mature technologies 2. An identifiable business network • With Participants, Assets and Transactions 3. A need for trust • Consensus, Immutability, Finality or Provenance © 2018 IBM Corporation

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my 51

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

What makes a good first blockchain use case? – First use-cases are even more difficult to identify! 1. A limited scope, but still solves a real business problem • Minimum Viable Product in a few weeks of effort 2. A smaller business network • Usually without requiring regulators and consortia 3. Allows for scaling with more participants and scenarios • Consider shadow chains to mitigate risks

Hyperledger vs. Etherium, Corda

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

On the one side, there is Fabric and Ethereum. They both are highly flexible, but in different aspects. powerful smart contracts engine makes it a generic platform for literally any kind of application. However, permissionless mode of operation and its total transparency comes at the cost of performance scalability and privacy. Fabric solves performance scalability and privacy issues by permissioned mode of operation and specifically by using a BFT algorithm and fine-grained access control. Further, the modular architecture allows Fabric to be customized to a multitude of applications. An analogy to a versatile toolbox can be drawn. Corda is located at the other end. It has been consciously designed as DLT for the financial services industry. Most notably, it takes the highly regulated environment into account by augmenting smart contracts with legal prose. Apparently, focus solely on financial services transactions simplified its architectural design compared to Fabric. Therefore, it might offer a more out-of-the-box experience. However, it might be possible that Fabric, due to its modularity, can be tailored to resemble feature set. Efforts exist that seek to integrate Corda into the Hyperledger project. Corda therefore cannot be seen as a competitor to Fabric but more as a complement.

What Motley Fool Recommends

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

“If you invest in a company going all-in on blockchain, you're exposing yourself to the risk of near-total loss. That's why International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), the century-old technology company, is the safest way to bet on blockchain.”

Blockchain Interoperability

www.blockchainhq.blogspot.my

Blockchain to Blockchain Use Cases

Blockchain to Other Use Cases

• Asset interoperability – via IBM Master Data Management • Smart contract interoperability - the same unmodified smart contract can run on multiple fabrics, e.g. Hyperledger Sawtooth with Hyperledger Burrow, a modular blockchain client with a permissioned smart contract interpreter built in part to the specification of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) • Inter-chain payment provider e.g. Hyperledger Project Quilt – a trustless decentralized exchange and payment service. • Network of networks – only ad-hoc approaches at the moment. • Know Your Customer / Anti-Money Laundering (KYC/AML) – Private key chain (distributed identifiers) shared amongst members e.g. Hyperledger Indy as a base for self-sovereign ID

• Process interoperability – trigger a transaction in a shared process (e.g., IBM Process Manager) on a blockchain or trigger a private member process using Hyperledger events • Business rules interoperability – a blockchain calls an externalized business rule to run in place of a native smart contract with IBM Operational Decision Manager • ERP integration - unlocks the potential of the supplier’s data at source to drive a digital supply chain experience. • Messaging protocol interoperability - e.g. EDIFACT or e-mail • IOT integration – integrate sensors such as temperature, location or weighbridges into supply chains on the blockchain via IBM Watson IOT or SmartAxiom • AI – and blockchain are converging and IBM Watson Analytics is already providing cognitive analytics for blockchain transactions • Portals – integrate the user interface and user experience

Frameworks • Hyperledger Fabric is a foundation for developing applications or solutions with a modular architecture, Hyperledger Fabric allows components, such as consensus and membership services, to be plug-and-play. • Hyperledger Burrow is a permissionable smart contract machine. Burrow provides a modular blockchain client with a permissioned smart contract interpreter built in part to the specification of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). • Hyperledger Iroha is a business blockchain framework designed to be simple and easy to incorporate into infrastructural projects requiring distributed ledger technology. • Hyperledger Indy is a distributed ledger, purpose-built for decentralized identity. It provides tools, libraries, and reusable components for creating and using independent digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers for interoperability. • Hyperledger Sawtooth is a modular platform for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers. Hyperledger Sawtooth includes a novel consensus algorithm, Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET), which targets large distributed validator populations with minimal resource consumption.

Tools • Hyperledger Composer is a collaboration tool for building blockchain business networks, accelerating the development of smart contracts and their deployment across a distributed ledger. Work with Hyperledger Composer here. • Hyperledger Cello aims to bring the on-demand “as-a-service” deployment model to the blockchain ecosystem to reduce the effort required for creating, managing and terminating blockchains. • Hyperledger Explorer can view, invoke, deploy or query blocks, transactions and associated data, network information, chain codes and transaction families, as well as any other relevant information stored in the ledger. • Hyperledger Quilt offers interoperability between ledger systems by implementing Interledger Protocol (ILP), which is primarily a payments protocol and is designed to transfer value across distributed ledgers and non-distributed ledgers.
