Blockchain provides many new opportunities across industries by facilitating trust and transparency through decentralization. In Malaysia, all three major crypto exchanges became fully operational in April 2020. There are business opportunities in financial services like payments, banking, insurance, lending, and decentralized finance. Other sectors like gaming, entertainment, data markets, and healthcare may also benefit. However, implementing blockchain brings challenges like lack of interoperability between networks, need for proper development methodologies, transforming legacy systems, achieving mass adoption given current network speeds, finding skilled talent, and cost of transitioning existing systems.

each replicates (depends on protocol) and saves an identical copy of the
ledger and updates itself independently.

19. Implementation
Challenges of Blockchain
INTEROPERABILITY
The current enterprise blockchain
technologies lack the ever needed
interoperability between all networks.
METHODOLOGY
Lack of proper methodology makes
newer innovations full of flaws.
LEGACY NETWORKS
Transforming all legacy networks with
blockchain may require a lot of time and
money.
MASS ADOPTION
Mass adoption isn’t possible in reality
yet as the network deals with slower
output.
SKILLSET
There isn’t an adequate workforce
with skillset to develop new
enterprise- grade technology.
COST CHALLENGES
Transforming the whole legacy
network ecosystem may require
more budget.
