Historical
Background
The historical background of
blockchain traces back to the
early 1990s when the concept of
a cryptographically secure
chain of blocks was first
proposed
Satoshi Nakamoto
- is the name used by the presumed
pseudonymous person or persons who
developed Bitcoin in 2009, authored the
bitcoin white paper, and created and
deployed bitcoin's original reference
implementation.
Since the initiation of Bitcoin and the subsequent
introduction of Ethereum, blockchain technology has
rapidly evolved, inspiring diverse cryptocurrencies
and projects, with applications spanning finance,
supply chain management, healthcare, real estate,
and more, leveraging its core features of
decentralization, transparency, security, and
immutability, although challenges like scalability,
regulation, and environmental impact persist,
prompting ongoing research and development to
maximize blockchain's potential.

Bitcoin and Proof of Work (PoW):
SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT
Blockchain technology is used to track
and trace products throughout their life
cycle. This reduces the odds of fraud
and corruption. The “trustless” nature of
blockchain helps resolve trust issues
between stakeholders in the supply
chain.
Blockchain can also be used to track
the conditions of the products, like
temperature. If a medicine or food
product is shipped at a particular
temperature, it can be monitored
throughout its journey to ensure the
consumer receives a safe and quality
product.
04
GOVERNMENT
The record-keeping power of
blockchain enables governments to
efficiently store identity information
like birth and death dates, marital
status or property transfers, etc., on
encrypted identity wallets, enabling
security, control, and streamlining
attestations.
05
AGRICULTURE
Blockchain technology is also highly significant for the
agriculture industry as it improves efficiency, trust, and
transparency. It can track and record information about
plants, seed quality, crop growth, and the entire supply
chain, enhancing transparency and eliminating concerns
related to illegal operations and unethical practices.
Blockchain also aids in tracking contamination and
facilitating recalls.
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF BLOCKCHAIN
IMPLEMENTATIONS IN DIFFERENT SECTORS
- Money Transfer
- Smart Contract
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Personal identity security
- Healthcare
- Logistics
- Non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
- Government
ADVANTAGES OF BLOCKCHAIN
• Immutability - Blockchain supports
immutability, meaning it is impossible to erase
or replace recorded data. Therefore, the
blockchain prevents data tampering within the
network.
• Transparency - Blockchain is
decentralized, meaning any
network member can verify data
recorded into the blockchain.
Therefore, the public can trust the
network.
• Censorship - Blockchain technology is free from
censorship since it does not have control of any
single party. Therefore, no single authority
(including governments) can interrupt the operation
of the network.
• Traceability - Blockchain creates
an irreversible audit trail, allowing
easy tracing of changes on the
network.
DISADVANTAGES OF
BLOCKCHAIN
• Speed and performance - Blockchain is
considerably slower than the traditional database
because blockchain technology carries out more
operations. First, it performs signature
verification. Blockchain also relies on a
consensus mechanism to validate transactions.
Finally, there is redundancy, where the network
requires each node to play a crucial role in
verifying and storing each transaction.
• High implementation cost -
Blockchain is costlier compared to
a traditional database. Additionally,
businesses need proper planning
and execution to integrate
blockchain into their process.
• Data modification - Blockchain
technology does not allow easy
modification of data once recorded, and it
requires rewriting the codes in all of the
blocks, which is time-consuming and
expensive. The downside of this feature
is that it is hard to correct a mistake or
make any necessary adjustments.
Cryptocurrency
In the digital age, the emergence of
cryptocurrencies and tokens has transformed the
landscape of finance, ushering in a new era of
decentralized and digitized assets.
Traditional currencies
are centralized and
001
issued by governments or
central banks.
Decentralization
Cryptocurrencies are
decentralized, meaning they
operate on distributed networks
without a central authority like
a government or central bank
overseeing transactions.
Issuance and
Supply
Differences
Supply
Traditional currencies are issued by
central banks, which have the
authority to print or mint
Issuance
Cryptocurrencies typically have a
predetermined issuance schedule and a
maximum supply cap, ensuring scarcity
and often deflationary characteristics.
For example, Bitcoin has a maximum
supply of 21 million coins.

Accessibility
Differences
Accessability
Traditional currency transactions
may involve intermediaries such as
banks or payment processors, which

Laundering (AML) regulations, which may
involve collecting and verifying personal
information.
Anonimity
Cryptocurrency transactions can
offer a higher degree of anonymity
and privacy, as participants are
identified by cryptographic
addresses rather than personal
information.
Security
And
Trust
Differences
Trust
Traditional currencies rely on
trust in government institutions
and financial intermediaries to
005 maintain stability and security,
although incidents of
counterfeiting and financial
Security fraud can still occur.
Cryptocurrencies rely on
cryptographic techniques and
decentralized consensus mechanisms
to ensure the security and
integrity of transactions, making
them resistant to censorship and
fraud.
How cryptocurrencies are
created, transacted, and
stored.'
Creation
Cryptocurrencies are typically created through a process
called mining, which involves participants (miners) solving
complex mathematical puzzles to validate and record
transactions on the blockchain. This process requires
computational power and consumes energy.
Paper wallets involve printing out the public and private keys
on a piece of paper, which can be physically stored in a
secure location. While paper wallets offer offline storage,
they require careful handling to prevent loss or damage.
It's essential to securely manage and backup cryptographic
keys, as losing access to the keys can result in the loss of
funds stored in the associated wallet.

“Solidity” is the dominant programming language used for creating smart contracts,
specifically those designed for the Ethereum blockchain. It's a high-level, object-
oriented language with influences from JavaScript, C++, and Python, making it
familiar to programmers with those backgrounds.

Execution: When the predetermined conditions are met (e.g., payment received), the
code automatically executes the corresponding action (e.g., transferring ownership of
a digital asset).

Imagine a scenario where a shipment of goods is being transported. A smart contract can
be coded to track the movement of the goods in real-time using sensors. Once the
shipment reaches its destination and the sensors confirm its arrival, the smart contract
automatically triggers the release of payment to the seller. This eliminates the need for
manual verification and paperwork, saving time and reducing fraud. DESIGNED BY JOYDEEP

Peer-to-peer lending and borrowing: Borrowers and lenders can connect directly through
smart contracts, eliminating the need for banks and associated fees. 2
Automated market making: Smart contracts can be used to create decentralized exchanges
where users can trade cryptocurrencies without relying on a central authority.
Voting Systems: Smart contracts can potentially revolutionize voting by enabling secure,
transparent, and verifiable elections. Votes can be cast and recorded on the blockchain,
ensuring immutability and preventing tampering. Additionally, smart contracts can automate
vote counting and result declaration, reducing the risk of human error and fraud.

Errors and Vulnerabilities: Bugs or loopholes in the code can lead to unintended
consequences or even the loss of funds. Careful code audits are crucial to mitigate
these risks.
Irreversible Mistakes: Due to the immutable nature of blockchain, errors within a smart
contract can be permanent. Recovering from such mistakes can be complex or even
impossible.
