WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
Currently, most people use a trusted middleman such as a bank to make a transaction. But blockchain allows consumers and suppliers to connect directly, removing the need for a third party.
Using cryptography to keep exchanges secure, blockchain provides a decentralized database, or “digital ledger”, of transactions that everyone on the network can see. This network is essentially a chain of computers that must all approve an exchange before it can be verified and recorded.

HOW WILL WE BENEFIT FROM BLOCKCHAIN?

1.DIGITAL IDENTITY

It reduces the burden of paper work and counterfiet fake identities. Identity can be uniquely authenticated in an irrefutable, immutable, and secure manner.

Blockchain Identity Use Cases

     *Blockchain technology can be applied to identity applications in the following areas:
