Is Blockchain still a thing?

15
•
A few years ago, blockchain was the “groundbreaking tech”, every startup wanted to launch a blockchain backed project. Authentication, smart contracts, supply chain, financial services, DAO, so many promising use cases. What happened? Any recent project integrating Blockchain?

Blockchain technology is very much alive and evolving, with recent advancements in areas like decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) drawing significant attention. Many projects continue to innovate, leveraging blockchain for its transparency, security, and immutability across various industries.

@markk0217 Défi and NFT were a thing 3 years ago. Now we don’t hear about it. Any example of a company or project successfully innovating on those ?

Blockchain is definitely still a thing, Toni! Many projects continue to integrate it, especially in finance for cryptocurrency advancements and in logistics for enhancing supply chain transparency.

@cen_xu thanks. Aside from the crypto niche, do you have any example of successful or current growing supply chain application or startup ?

@sophiawms interesting. But are any really gaining traction enough to go beyond the tech niche and move mainstream at some point and impact « the common consumer » ?

Still many people are working on blockchain project. Most of them is infrastructure layer, so you may not notice the change and improvement of blockchain industry. But still think that we need application layer use cases.

@heejin_jinzara I believe blockchain tech has huge potential too. But even in infra, i haven’t heard of any example of a strong success company leveraging it. Any example ?
Nitin Joshi

Blockchain is very much alive and kicking; for instance, the 'ChainGuard' platform recently launched, offering real-time supply chain authentication to combat counterfeit goods. It harnesses blockchain's transparency to bring trust back into the supply chain.

Blockchain remains a foundational technology with enduring potential. While the initial hype may have settled, recent years have seen a more nuanced adoption. Many industries are actively integrating blockchain for improved security, transparency, and efficiency. Supply chain management, healthcare, and decentralized finance (DeFi) are areas witnessing notable advancements. Check out projects like Filecoin for decentralized storage, Uniswap in DeFi, and Hedera Hashgraph for DLT innovation. Here is an example of how app development match blockchain technology: https://jetsoftpro.com/success-s...
