Topic

Fighting Fraud Everywhere with the Blockchain

Abstract

Many traditionally centralized industries struggle with high rates of fraud and limited visibility into supply chains that result in billions of lost revenue, illness, and even death. This presentation will dive into three such industries, how blockchain is being implemented, and blockchain projects disrupting each industry to solve these issues.
