2. Blockchain Mechanics: How Blockchain
Works
Someone requests a transaction
The requested transaction is sent to a P2P network consisting of
computers known as nodes
The P2P network of nodes validates the transaction and the users
status using a consensus algorithm
A verified transaction can involve smart contracts, records, and other
information
Once verified, the transaction is combined with other transactions to
create a new block of data in the distributed ledger

3. Blockchain Use Cases: The Problems
Banking: Consumers do not trust banks
Supply Chain: There is a lack of visibility and accountability with the companies in the
supply chain
Health Care: Lack of information shared from provider to provider for personal
healthcare
Identity: Identity theft is rife

4. Blockchain Use Cases : How you can use
Blockchain
Banking: Eliminate 3rd Parties & Speed up Transactions
Supply Chain: Validate the production and movement of products
Health Care: Tracking health, medication and personal care
Identity: Proving identity

6. Blockchain Mechanics: Smart
Contracts
• A Smart Contract receives and distributes
assets from seller to buyer. The Blockchain
records the transaction as a new entry. The
process can be automated, and ownership
is undisputed.
• Smart Contract completes a trusted, secure
and verifiable transaction almost instantly
without the need of 3rd party involvement
• Smart Contracts run business logic such as
automatic transactions
• The most popular language to write a
Smart Contract is Solidity
• The Blockchain records each transactions

7. Blockchain
Mechanics: Smart
Contracts – Simple
to Complex
• Exchange Currency
• Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency is
sent from one person to another
• Simple Asset
• Digital music or an eBook is
purchased
• Basic Smart Contract
• Financial lending company locks a
car due to non-payments
• Multi-Party Contract
• A company lends money to a buyer
to purchase a car from a seller
• Distributed Autonomous Organization
• Self driving cars make deliveries,
pay tolls and locate nearest fueling
stations
