QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE YOU START
Who can set or change the rules of the protocol?
Who runs the nodes and pay for them?
Who validates the block and at which cost?
Who can read and/or write the blocks?

CHALLENGES TO SOLVE BEFORE GOING PUBLIC
What is the service actually enabled by the blockchain?
What hw, sw, bandwith is the user required to own?
How and where the users private keys are stored?
How and where the users assets are stored?

our research captured which applications have already begun to
demonstrate proven social impact, which industries and use cases
are more or less advanced, and what we should be learning from
the hundreds of test cases, pilots, and experiments that are using
blockchain for social impact.
A surge in new
projects, organizations,
and platforms
oriented toward the
use of blockchain
technology began
in 2013.

in the early days 34% were started in 2017 or later, and 74% are
still in the pilot or idea stage. But, 55% of social-good blockchain
initiatives are estimated to impact their beneficiaries by early 2019.
Fifty-five percent are
estimated to have an
end impact on their
beneficiaries by
early 2019.

Blockchain is most
often used to facilitate
payments and verify
records.
Figure 5: Primary Ways in Which
Blockchain Is Used
Blockchain is most often used to facilitate payments and verify
records. The most common use cases for blockchain initiatives are
payments and money transfers (25%) and records and verification
(26%). Blockchains most popular primary benefits are being able
to reduce risk and fraud (38%) and increase efficiency (24%)
