De vraag wat het doel is van de blockchain wordt te weinig gesteld in de ‘mania’ om de nieuwe technologie te gebruiken. Als dat doel met traditionele databasetechnologie kan worden gerealiseerd, waarom dan een complexe blockchain gebruiken? Voor archivering de belangrijkste vraag.

In januari 2016 maakte Vitalik Buterin op het blog van Ethereum duidelijk dat blockchain en privacy moeizaam samengaan. Compliance aan de AVG is van belang, vooral vanwege de hoge boetes die door de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens opgelegd kunnen worden. In hoeverre kan de blockchain overweg met de AVG?

At the moment of writing of this article, mid-2018, the topic ‘blockchain’ was introduced in the real estate industry in the Netherlands about two years ago. Blockchain will have a large impact in the way we share information and make transactions. Its promise is big, interest in the topic and the number of experiments doubles each year, and not only in the Netherlands, but globally too. So you might expect the number of actual ‘blockchain products’ for the real estate market to follow the same exponential pattern.In reality, however, this is hardly the case at all. Does that mean there are barely any problems to which blockchain is the solution? Perhaps the problems do exist, but the market is not ready yet? And why not? The two most frequently asked questions in the real estate industry are the following: 1. How will blockchain change my business model?2. Where can I buy it so that I can employ it tomorrow?

BCLivinglab combines the supply chain and logistics physical infrastructure of training centres (ROCs), research institutes and companies throughout the Netherlands, with the expertise and virtual infrastructure of blockchain specialists from BlockLab. Companies, especially SMEs, in supply chain and logistics will use this unique combination of physical facilities and the expert network to experiment with and develop blockchain applications. BCLivinglab is easily accessible for companies, due to its close proximity (distributed facilities) and low threshold procedures. It will make blockchain technology accessible for companies, thus supporting innovation and improving the competitive advantage of the Dutch supply chain and logistics sector.
For the development of a circular economy and the reduction of the environmental impact of supply chains, the sharing of reliable information throughout the entire chain is a prerequisite. In practice, this is difficult to realise which blockchain can improve. BCLivingLab aims to explore the application of blockchain technology in supply chain and logistics. The project develops four physical hubs and a virtual repository for blockchain knowledge to support SME’s in developing use-cases and experiment with blockchain applications. The ambition is to build a community of interested stakeholders and to be involved in current and future blockchain initiatives.
