Social encounters

Jeff Barr, Vice President and Chief Evangelist for Amazon AWS, presented alongside Sieng Van Tran, President of the Dragonchain Academy, at their meetup hosted at the Dragonchain HQ. Together they discussed Dragonchain’s growth and progress, plans for global expansion and the future of blockchain technology.

Progressing along the growth curve for a healthy Blockchain as a Service company.

It’s really encouraging to just hear how [Dragonchain] is doing. And the level of sophistication I see here in your presentation, and your overall messaging so far beyond where you were just a year ago. I think that is when I really had the opportunity to take a look. So you are progressing nicely along that growth curve.

Old Friends Meet Again.

Great to see you again Sieng after so long. Let’s not make it another 11 years like we did last time. Listen, learn, remember that we’re at the beginning of something super super awesome. Remember that in the beginning of anything new there’s always a bunch of old world skeptics. They’re totally sure that the new thing is never going to work because they are way too anchored in the past. If anything that I’ve learned in my career it is that you take the past, you respect it a bunch but you need to be super flexible about the future. Because the futures always going to be more interesting than the past. Listen with an open mind and pick up what you have here and take and run with it.

Blockchain implementation is quickly becoming more critical for companies, instead of just being a buzzword without proven use cases or value. Dragonchain team dives in to Deloitte’s 2019 Global Blockchain Survey, exploring the current state and barriers of adoption by global enterprises and what to expect in the coming years going forward.

How Dragonchain’s hybrid blockchain platform can accelerate implementation:

Not encompassed in the survey was the current state, understanding and implementation of a hybrid blockchain model. The survey clearly shows the market does not settle on any one type of architecture or approach. Private, permissioned, public blockchains, and consortium blockchains are all being widely used. Which is compounded with the integration of multiple chains or a blockchain network, quite surprisingly at 43% already. At Dragonchain the team solves many of the barriers to entry for blockchain technology, including ease of implementation, compliance with GDPR and in-house skills. Just as importantly, their hybrid approach allows you to have the best of both private and public chains. You’ll also be able to interoperate between the different blockchains you already use, or plan to use in the future. With consortium blockchains widely used, interoperability between them can only benefit all stakeholders involved. While this survey is clearing the way for more acceptance, development and real-world deployment of blockchain and decentralized applications. It also shows that education remains one of the key points to further accelerate and innovate even more in this emerging industry.

Blockchain is, for better or worse, irrevocably associated with tokenization and cryptocurrency. Though blockchain technology existed long before Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper, it owes much of its initial adoption and visibility to this use case. Many of the blockchain projects to emerge in recent years have been focused on tokenization, be it for fintech, securities, or as the basis of loyalty programs. In many cases, tokenization has served as the foundation or key feature of a business model, but its benefits can also be applied in more of a supportive role. The use of tokenomics as part of your enterprise blockchain can be very broad and expansive, but what many businesses have yet to realize is these functionalities also have more granular applications.
