BLOCKCHAIN : The New Web 3.0
What is Blockchain Technology
Why everyone is talking about it.
Why it is called game changer in the way we do business
transactions or document authentication and many more.
Why it is so important for transportation sector : specially
in supply chain and logistics
3. BLOCKCHAIN Technology
A paper was published in 2008 by group or an individual known by the pseudonym, Satoshi
Nakamoto gave this ingenious method of allowing digital information to be distributed
across the network, which is encrypted and not required any central authority to validate or
authorize any transactions or business done through its decentralized network. It is now
even considered to be backbone of new type of internet, the web 3.0.
The Blockchain is an encrypted block of information which is added to already created
information, chain together and updated to all its users on its decentralize connected nodes
or block of information serve as digital ledger of any transactions, contracts - It represents
an innovation in information registration and distribution that eliminates the need for a
trusted party to facilitate digital relationships
5. DEFINING Digital Trust
• A Blockchain is a type of digital diary or spreadsheet containing information about
transactions.
• Each transaction generates a hash(string of numbers and letters).
• All transactions are entered in the order in which they occurred. Order is very
important.
• The hash depends not only on the transaction but the previous transaction's hash.
• Even a small change in a transaction creates a completely new hash.
• The nodes check to make sure a transaction has not been changed by inspecting the
hash.
• If a transaction is approved by a majority of the nodes then it is written into a block.
• Each block refers to the previous block and added together make the Blockchain.
• A Blockchain is effective as it is spread over many computers, each of which have a
copy of the Blockchain. These computers are called nodes.
• The Blockchain updates itself every 10 minutes.
6. WHY Everyone Talking About It
• Rise of Crypto Currency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum
and many more .. There are more than 1400 such
crypto currency exist today.
• Insane rise in price of one Bitcoin or Ethereum
attracted the attention.
• Anonymity of transaction.
• No need for verification by intermediary such as Banks
or Financial Institutions.
• Ability to provide the trust and openness of transaction
between parties.

WHY It is called Game Changer
The technical infrastructure offers
secure operations (payments or issue
of certificates); & to perform
transactions in knowledge that each
party has the capacity to enter into
that transaction;
TRUST & TRANSPARNECY
Users identify themselves and maintain
control over the storage and
management of personal data;
SELF –SOVERNITY /GROWTH
PERSPECTIVE
No need for a central controlling
authority to manage transactions or
keep records; ability of parties to
transact directly with each other
without the need for third parties.
DISINTERMEDIATION & COLLABORTION
Records are written and stored
permanently, without the possibility of
modification;
IMMUTABLITY
8. BLOCKCHAIN in Transportation : Logistics & Supply Chain
Better freight Tracking
Blockchain for data authentication, the entire network can contribute and validate data, and it is no longer subject to
tampering. Increased reliability of tracking information can also have an impact in the conservation of goods being
shipped.
Using IoT and AI to increase efficiency
By using IoT sensors in trucks and other shipping vehicles, shippers and transportation companies can detect the amount
of space taken up in a shipment and determine cost accordingly, transmitting all of this information to the blockchain
Tracking of fleet or vehicle history / performance
Buying second hand vehicle / performance can be traced back
Smart Contracts
Smart Contracts may be the single most impactful blockchain enabled feature to the freight industry.
Smart Contracts are essentially self-executing tasks that are coded through the blockchain and executed when a certain
condition is met.
9. USE Case
• Best way to visibility across the value chain.. Currently there are various source of technology
is been using RFID/IoT/ telematics that can capture the location, condition of the
consignment. But much of the data is isolated or in different format of registration specially in
multi modal transportation
• Block Chain can help create platform where all the participants gain greater visibility:
instantaneous insight of the shipment at SKU level
• Get the see any hands-off that has taken place: for example, all the information of the points
the shipment touched and especially if the consignment is tempered or switched, (whether
goods kept in optimal temperature, very crucial in food and lifesaving medicines)
• Can embed smart contract, automatically payment methods based on where the shipment is
and what is happening to shipment. For example if carrier unload the shipment to warehouse,
that time both parties get the evidence of delivery and automatic payment method initiated
