German Frankfurt School to issue Blockchain-based Course Certificates

School now offer students the ability to prove their qualifications using blockchain technology.
It is based on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.
Course completion certification is stored on a blockchain itself.
The certificates can be encrypted so that the owner of a particular node in the respective network can decide on a case-by-case basis which certificates he or she makes visible to other network participants.

In the blockchain, you can store personal data, such as a CV or identity card, as in a picture book. With our project we show how easy and comfortable that can be for the user.

Blockchain policy by Government - including NITI Aayog of India

counterfeit pharmaceuticals account for 70% of all drugs in the supply chain.

Chief Executive Officer of NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant says

There is a need to use blockchain to track and trace medicines and spurious drugs. Therefore, NITI Aayog, in collaboration with Apollo Hospitals and Oracle, is putting pharmaceutical supply chain in blockchain for complete traceability of drugs from manufacturer to consumer to protect our citizens from the menace of spurious medicines.

The government has to play a leading role in allowing the application of blockchain technology. As the government, we need to make it easier to apply blockchain in pressing areas such as land registry, records, fertiliser subsidy distribution and health records..

Blockchain Startup PARAM Looks To Solve The Multibillion Dollar E-Invoice Processing Problem and bring transparency to the system

Currently, up to 90% of the 550 Bn invoices generated every year are processed manually, with the departments right from purchasing, accounts to others’ marketing and operations.

The average amount spent on every invoice varies from $11 – $15 per invoice.

Data Must Be Democratised.

Trust Deficit Not Good For Business

PARAM is a permissioned public blockchain - src

The transactions on PARAM are well-structured on-chain for querying for any kind of data. Every single node on the network has got two databases — a public database and a private database. The public database shares only a hash and it’s the private database which contains the invoice.

For the public network, we have used Ethereum 2.0 while the private blockchain is based on Quorum.

PARAM’s solution takes care of a range of transactions that happen pre and post-payment.

Businesses and vendors can do transactions with many players simultaneously. The company has also created a free wallet for end consumers.

The invoice transfer occurs only peer-to-peer..

Trusted vaccine distribution enabled with blockchain - src

Ensure the trust of vaccines from inception to injection

IBM and Moderna plan to explore blockchain, AI and hybrid cloud for smarter management of COVID-19 vaccine supply chain and distribution data sharing.

With a vaccine distribution network powered by IBM Blockchain:

Manufacturers can proactively monitor for adverse events and improve recall management
Distributors can gain real-time visibility and enhanced ability to respond to supply chain disruptions
Dispensers can improve inventory management and safety monitoring
Citizens can trust the vaccines and confidently return to society.

Benefits:

End-to-end traceability: Real-time visibility of vaccine distribution and chain of custody from manufacturing to administration, eliminating blind spots across public and private entities
Reduced risk: Preemptive detection and proactive notification of supply chain disruptions, adverse reactions, fraud, spoilage and other unexpected events help deliver the vaccines ready to go.
Safety and efficacy assurance: Environmental monitoring of transport and storage conditions, as well as rapid recall traceability will help ensure efficacy and build trust.

The potential industry disruptions included in the infographic are below - src

Legal: Smart Contracts stored on the blockchain track contract parties, terms, transfer of ownership, and delivery of goods or services without the need for legal intervention.

Supply Chain: By utilizing a distributed ledger, companies within a supply chain gain transparency into shipment tracking, deliveries, and progress among other suppliers where no inherent trust exists.

Government: Blockchain offers promise as a technology to store personal identity information, criminal backgrounds, and “e-citizenship,” authorized by biometrics.

Energy: Decentralized energy transfer and distribution are possible via micro-transactions of data sent to blockchain, validated, and re-dispersed to the grid while securing payment to the submitter.

Food: Using blockchain to store food supply chain data offers enhanced traceability of product origin, batching, processing, expiration, storage temperatures, and shipping.

Retail: Secure P2P marketplaces can track P2P retail transactions, with product information, shipment, and bills of lading input on the blockchain, and payments made via Bitcoin.

Healthcare: Electronic medical records stored in a blockchain, accessed and updated via biometrics, allow for the democratization of patient data and alleviate the burden of transferring records among providers.

29 of 39

Insurance: When autonomous vehicles and other smart devices communicate status updates with insurance providers via the blockchain, premium costs decrease as the need for auditing and authenticating data vanishes.

Travel and Hospitality: Passengers store their authenticated “single travel ID” on the blockchain for use in lieu of travel documents, identification cards, loyalty program IDs, and payment data.

Education: Educational institutions could utilize the blockchain to store credentialing data around assessments, degrees, and transcripts.

Blockchain in healthcare is ALL about removing the middleman - src

Current systems do not transfer information to each other so pharmaceutical companies have no way of knowing what is happening with their products.
Loss in revenue for the drug manufacturers and pharma businesses as they cannot sell to consumers, who also lose out.
Pharmaceutical companies lose approximately $200 billion to counterfeit drugs each year.

What Blockchain has to offer ?

combat counterfeit medicines
securing medical devices
optimizing the functionality of IoT
improving the public health supply chain
Clinical trial data must be secure due to its highly sensitive nature - blockchain has the flexibility to make data completely visible or completely password protected

What are art NFTs?

NFTs can be physical pieces of artwork that are digitized, or they can be natively created using digital tools. An art NFT is a piece of art that is minted onto a blockchain, therefore becoming a non-fungible token (or NFT). So, NFT, are a bit like digital trading cards or collectible items in the virtual world:

Digital Collectibles: These are special, one-of-a-kind digital items, like a rare and unique sticker in a sticker book. Each NFT is different and can represent things like digital art, music, videos, or even virtual pets.

Blockchain Magic: NFTs use blockchain, which is a super-secure and transparent digital record book. This blockchain keeps track of who owns each NFT and its history.

Ownership Proof: When you own an NFT, it's like having a certificate that says, "You own this special digital thing." This proof is stored in the blockchain, and it can't be faked or copied.

Buying and Selling: People can buy and sell NFTs, just like trading cards or toys. When you buy an NFT, it's recorded in the blockchain, so everyone knows you have it.

Show and Tell: You can show off your NFTs to your friends online or even in special virtual galleries. It's a way to say, "Look at my cool, unique digital stuff!"
