accountants, auditors and lawyers etc., to verify or record any transaction. Before the birth of the Internet, all words or figures were written or printed in black and white. In the age of the Internet, the practices are more environmental-friendly as those words or figures are electronically stored in physical or cloud servers. Still, one big problem remains: no matter in paper or electronic form, nobody can assure the third parties would not fail to perform, either technically or credibly. The Enron scandal told us even a worldwide known accountancy firm would fall down due to the destruction of its credibility. The existence of blockchain is exactly a breakthrough to tackle the issue. Blockchain, or called distributed ledger technology (DLT), originally is the technical element that supports bitcoin to bypass centralised and trusted intermediaries and verification processes to record transactions immutably. Each ‘block’ records part of the information related to all transactions. Blocks are encrypted and arranged in order by time to form a ‘chain’. All authorised parties share the same ledger. When one party changes a record (say adding a new transaction or editing a previous transaction), a new ‘block’ containing the new information will be added at the end of the encrypted ‘chain’ in terms of timeframe to show it is the latest mark of changes. It is a shared ledger, so no single party owns it, and nobody can corrupt it (i.e. everybody will be notified for any changes). Blockchain, payment and smart contract Amid the speculation around bitcoin, the distributive feature of the technology is now being recognised by government watchdogs and financial institutions around the world. The US Federal Reserve issued Distributed Ledger Technology in Payment, Clearing and Settlement in December 2016 to present its extensive research on the applicability of blockchain in financial trading and payment solutions. The research paper highlights the fact that blockchain may help speed up and simplify the current slow and cumbersome cross-border payments processes. The Bank of England in The Macroeconomics of Central Bank Issued Digital Currenciesexamines a digital currency backed by DLT that may help reduce interest rates, distortionary taxes and transaction costs, which eventually benefit the economy. Another hot discussed blockchain-based element is smart contract, a computer program that automatically performs some actions (terms or conditions) of a contract once the pre-defined conditions are fulfilled. Still, there are technical constraints of blockchain left to be overcome. As the Federal Reserve report notes, the number of concurrent transactions of some blockchain technologies are limited by their algorithm and cryptographic verification, and the continuous extension of blockchains may use up storage
