What is Blockchain?
9
• The technology behind Bitcoin
• A ledger of transactions replicated to
all servers
• Distributed, peer-to-peer network
• Requires no central authority
• Digital cryptography ensures
- Transactions are verifiable
- System is tamper-proof
• Ledger updates are applied through
automated network consensus
Blockchain: Why was it invented?
10
Because “… no mechanism exists to make payments over a communications channel
without a trusted party”

A question of control and trust
Permissionless
Blockchains
Trust is enforced by Cryptographic proof
from the Software Protocol
Permissioned
Blockchains
Trust is enforced through restricted

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Blockchain is the underlying technology platform behind Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital currency that permits real-time value transfer between participants. Valid transactions are immediate and irreversible. It should be made clear however, that Bitcoin and blockchain are two separate things. Bitcoin is the digital currency that is enabled by blockchain, which is a technology platform. As such blockchain can be applied to other business applications. Blockchain is a Peer-to-peer computer network that shares a Ledger of Valid Network Transactions. It is organized as a chronological chain of valid blocks, where every Network Peer holds a full copy of the same ledger. Therefore every Network Peer holds the same complete Network Transaction History. Valid Network Transactions are aggregated into logical Blocks. Valid Blocks are chronologically linked together. Invalid Blocks are being discarded. The great innovation in Blockchain is a Mechanism to reach Network Consensus in a Peer to Peer Network about what Blocks are valid and which ones are not. The Blockchain provides proof of who owns what at any given time.
  2. Why is traditionally a trusted third party needed in a payment transaction? And the answer is: To enforce trust in a transaction -> meaning: To make sure, that the sender does not spend what the sender does not own: The so called Double Spend problem. And the only way to enforce trust in a transaction (until Blockchain) was through a trusted third party. Central Transaction Validation Systems enforce trust through restricted access to a transaction validation entity, lets say a Bank. Under this model, and because of the nature of self-interest, the more people or entities that have access to transaction validation, the greater the risk to the network. Self interest is a threat. Rules for people and entities with access to transaction validation are defined and enforced by regulators. A Distributed Transaction Validation System uses the opposite model: It is open for everyone to directly send and validate transactions. No trust in a validating third party is needed because trust is enforced through a cryptographic proof mechanism embedded within a software. Because of game-theoretical incentive-mechanisms, self-interest is the basis of security. For every network participant, it is financially more attractive to play by the rules, meaning correctly validating transactions, than to cheat the system. Distributed Transaction Validation Systems rely on the pursuit of self-interest in order to secure the network, because it is exponentially harder to attack a distributed network the bigger it gets. Blockchain is the underlying technology platform behind Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital currency that permits real-time value transfer between participants. Valid transactions are immediate and irreversible. It should be made clear however, that Bitcoin and blockchain are two separate things. Bitcoin is the digital currency that is enabled by blockchain, which is a technology platform. As such blockchain can be applied to other business applications. Blockchain is a Peer-to-peer computer network that shares a Ledger of Valid Network Transactions. It is organized as a chronological chain of valid blocks, where every Network Peer holds a full copy of the same ledger. Therefore every Network Peer holds the same complete Network Transaction History. Valid Network Transactions are aggregated into logical Blocks. Valid Blocks are chronologically linked together. Invalid Blocks are being discarded. The great innovation in Blockchain is a Mechanism to reach Network Consensus in a Peer to Peer Network about what Blocks are valid and which ones are not. The Blockchain provides proof of who owns what at any given time.
  3. At the beginning of Bitcoin, every person who wanted to participate in the network had to operate a network node. This is different now. Service Providers (so called Exchanges or Wallet Providers) offer these Services so that People who want to join the Network do not have to operate a Network Node any more. For the purpose of this presentation, lets assume that every Network Participant operates a Network Node. Every Network Node holds a full copy of the Blockchain. Therefore EVERYBODY knows the transaction history of every bitcoin in circulation. It is like a USD Note where every Person that had the Note in possession had to sign it. The Bitcoin Blockchain provides public accessible proof of who owns what at any given time. The Magazine “economist” called the Bitcoin Blockchain it a 2015 release “the truth machine”.
  4. Bitcoin the Currency was the first Application on the Blockchain. What could be other applications on the Blockchain? Because no trust is needed between transacting entities, Permissionless Blockchains enable humans, organizations or things to directely communicate and transact with one another. Therefore any business construct where trust in form of an intermediary is implemented, is a possible application. In this respect, Permissionless Blockchains are disintermediating technologies that eliminate friction in value exchange over the internet. Permissionless Blockchains replaces middlemen Therefore new Business Models, Process and workflows, Self Executing Contracts or even Decentralized Autonomous Organizations are possible Applications.
  5. After Bitcoin, other Blockchains have emerged. Blockchains can now be classified in Permissioned and Permissionless Blockchains. The difference between the both is a philosophical one, namely, what person or entity has the right to validate transacions within the network. Permissioned Blockchains are more like Transaction Validation Networks, where access to Transaction Validation, Insight and Control is limited to Trusted Participants. Trust is enforced by limiting access to the Network. Permissioned Blockchains are currently under development by an Industry & Banking Consortuim in order to improve and speed up internal processes like Clearinghouse or Settlement. Permissionless Blockchains in contrast are truely open and distributed Transaction Validation Networks. Open means, open for everyone to participate, open for everyone to validate transactions and open to have insight and control over the complete transaction history of the Network. No trusted third parties are needed. Trust is enforced through Cryptography by the Blockchains Software Protocol. Permissionless Blockchains have in common, that they need an Internal Unit of Account, a Network Token to incentivice for transaction verification efforts.
