There is a millions application of the technology most of which have not yet been identified. Basically, blockchain builds and enforces trust in a trustless manner while significantly reducing the transaction cost. Moreover, it is a revolutionary technology and has the potential to revolutionize almost every industry. Here are the top 10 industries blockchain technology will most likely disrupt in the near future.

1. Banking

The blockchain associates with bitcoin, a form of payment system that renders banks useless. Blockchain would be a more secure way to store banking records. Also, can provide a faster and secure way for transacting with the bank.

At the moment there are some blockchain startups like Ripple developing blockchain solutions for banks. Blockchain also renders a secure way to store money in a decentralizing form. Moreover, that too without ever having a central storage location.

2. Healthcare

Blockchain has the capability to solve some of the biggest challenges in the global healthcare system. Consider a system that allows all doctors to access your health records securely and easily. Unnecessary wastage of time in diagnosis reduces since the patient health history is known at hand.

Meanwhile, this could save millions of lives that are lost due to time wastages. Blockchain patient databank can be used by researchers to develop better healthcare systems and pharmaceuticals.

3. Politics

Globally, every citizen and political contestants complain of rigged votes. Many developed countries deployed an electronic voting system. These systems are all good except for the fact that they are not secure. Blockchain system would provide a secure and transparent voting system for voting, voter registration, and verification.

5. Legal Industry

The legal industry involves a lot of storing and retrieving of very vital documents and verifying there provenance. With blockchain, important documents such as wills, contracts, and other legal documents could be securely stored and verified. Moreover, with the development of cryptocurrencies, digital inheritance will soon become a major issue.

6. Security

Blockchain creates a decentralized and secure way of storing, verifying and encrypting data. The security industry data requirements fit almost entirely on to the capability of the blockchain technology. With blockchain systems, data hacks and bridge of major data storage banks will be history.

7. Government

Blockchain can be deployed in governance to help reduce and eliminate bureaucratic red tape and corruption in government agencies. With a blockchain system, verification of beneficiaries and distribution of welfare, disability, veterans and unemployment benefits could be made effective.

With smart contracts, the release of funds in any form, to entity could be automated. Additionally, blockchain could increase security, efficiency, and transparencies in governments.

8. Rentals and Ride Sharing

Existing ride-sharing companies like Airbnb, Uber, and Lyft can also disrupt by the instruction of a true peer-to-peer network on the blockchain.
