Topic

Blockchain Interoperability

Abstract

Over the last year, the discussion has shifted from why the blockchain to which blockchains to invest in, use and deploy. Organizations and governments around the world are using multiple blockchains to address different use cases. And the views on which blockchains to use are evolving. In this we will discuss: - Drivers for using blockchains in multiple industries - Examples of which blockchains are better fit for use cases - Challenges that need to be addressed before blockchains are widely adopted - Criteria for evaluating blockchain implementations v. cryptocurrencies
