ICO Pitchnight #1 by Catena Capital & Herdius and friendsBalazs Deme
The first ICO Pitchnight organized by Catena Capital and Herdius. Advice and learnings on already having done an ICO by Bricklock, on having already done an ICO in Germany by Herdius and planning on one by KYC solution Fractal.
The document discusses whether a decentralized application (dApp) is needed or simply wanted. It notes that while dApps are interesting, their user bases are typically very small compared to traditional websites. Further, dApps face challenges in scalability and usability compared to traditional apps. However, the key innovations of dApps like their open source and decentralized nature may provide value for developers and stakeholders even if most end users do not yet see the value. A few example dApp ideas are provided that could potentially provide real value for end users around areas like reputation, governance, and fair economic systems.
.
However, blockchains face challenges around governance, volatility, centralization of mining power, and inherent inefficiencies. Their use also needs to be evaluated based on the type of data and transactions
The document discusses the potential applications of blockchain technology. It summarizes how blockchain provides a decentralized ledger system that does not require trusted third parties, unlike centralized ledger systems. This is achieved through consensus, smart contracts, and cryptography. Some potential applications discussed include using blockchain for remittances, trade finance, financial services, and the Internet of Things. Blockchain could revolutionize industries by enabling low-cost digital transactions and automated processes.

Blockchain x Mainstream -- OST Workshop at Betaworks Studios June, 2018OST | Open Simple Token
1) Blockchain technology is still in its early stages similar to where the internet was in 1993, with hype and uncertainty around its potential.
2) Less than 1% of internet users currently have cryptocurrency wallets, showing how niche blockchain adoption remains.
3) The OST platform aims to bring blockchain mainstream by providing full-stack technology including a protocol, middleware, and software to enable businesses to easily tokenize and integrate blockchain.
When consumer products get switched on, brands will be able to deploy new IoT-based applications and services throughout the full product lifecycle. But what role will blockchains play in this, and is the hype about its potential justified?
This white paper will show you which use cases are best suited to blockchains and how to assess whether a blockchain-based solution is really needed.

Blockchain, IoT and AI are foundational to the Fourth Industrial Revolution -...David Terrar
Blockchain, IoT, and AI are foundational technologies for the fourth industrial revolution. The document discusses each technology and argues they should be factored into business planning. Blockchain allows trust between parties without intermediaries. IoT connects devices that generate large amounts of data. AI is now practical due to advances in machine learning. Real-world examples show the technologies' benefits in industries like shipping, food supply chains, and manufacturing. Adoption is increasing as businesses recognize the opportunities these technologies provide.
Blockchain startup Marketpay provides escrow payment services to enable secure transactions on marketplaces and sharing economy platforms. It uses Ethereum smart contracts to automate escrow releases upon delivery confirmation. While blockchain technology is still emerging, use cases like Marketpay's escrow payments demonstrate how it can facilitate transactions with transparency and without the need for centralized intermediaries.
Blockchain implementation strategy focuses on getting involved in multiple aspects of the blockchain ecosystem through a portfolio approach. This includes developing DApps initially for portfolio diversification and lower risk, while also getting involved in building protocols and platforms to gain technical expertise and governance relevance over time. A joint cooperation strategy is proposed to develop the portfolio systematically and increase the success of projects through contributions at the DApp level, while allowing time for the team to build capabilities in protocols and platforms.

https://medium.com/@Taelpay/our-ecosystem-detailed-2-blockchains-explained-901b4c4e3a55
• Ethereum for ERC20:WABI, for the underlying tokenomics of our business.
• Hyperledger Fabric, the blockchain technology we build our platform on
for our users and partners.
• Our network of peers (nodes) includes active stakeholders (Masternodes)
and industry partners like Rakuten, PCA Express (EnterpriseNode).
• Two chains are linked at the application level so that our Loyalty points on
Hyperledger are pegged to ERC20:WABI.

12. Why Hyperledger Fabric?
• Most companies are still not comfortable in sharing data openly and
uncontrollably at variable transactional cost.
• Started by IBM, a Permissioned Blockchain is well suited for corporate use.
• No mining or gas cost, just fixed server costs. Easier to budget.
• Only shared with trusted partners with specific permissions, no
decentralisation and 51% attack risk. More inline with business contract
needs.
• High throughput, transparent to end users. Shoppers don’t care if it is on
Blockchain, your business partners do.
13. • Centralised and Distributed are not all bad. It’s about picking the right
model for the situation.
14. Hyperledger
• The Hyperledger Project is not just about Hyperledger Fabric
permissioned blockchain.
• Lead by Open source (Apache) legend, Brian Behlendorf, it’s the fastest
growing project in the Linux Foundation.
• A very comprehensive set of blockchain technologies covering many
kinds of DLTs, Libraries and Tools. Sawtooth, Indy, Ursa, Caliper and
Explorer and many more.

15. Cryptocurrencies
• Cryptocurrency issuing and trading are generally illegal in China (and many
other countries). It challenges traditional monetary sovereignty.
• ERC-20 was not the original intention of Ethereum, but it is proving to be the
primary value so far.

• Facebook announced Libra in June 2019 together with many respectable
partners. Ambitious plan. US and EU regulators quickly stepped in. Many key
partners left the Libra Association.
• Tokenomics are alive and well. Slowly seeing good projects using crypto to
drive changes in legacy business models. Brave browser ad rewards, Exchange
(Binance, Huobi), Blockchain-platform (EOS, TRON), etc. https://brave.com/epl157 Referral Link to try Brave browser
16. WeChat Mini-Program & Partner Market Place
• Most eCommerce platforms in China don’t provide full API access to build
custom apps. No strong Shopify-like SaaS in China.
• We built our own WeChat Mini-program solution based on Magento open
source backend. Most developers hate PHP. Adobe is integrating
eCommerce directly into digital creative platform (Magento was acquired by Adobe Inc in May 2018 for $1.68 Billion USD.)
• Using Hyperledger Fabric to store all product and order information, non-PII.
• Consolidated our anti-counterfeiting, loyalty points and eCommerce platform
into our market place solution for our partners like Rakuten and Odakyu in
Japan to share trusted data.
17. Closing notes, and beyond…
• Blockchain is designed to be immutable. Any mistakes you make will be
there “forever”. Avoid storing any sensitive data or Personally identifiable
information (PII) on it.
• BTC started on 2009/01/03 (11 years ago), ETH started on 2015/07/30.
Created quarter of a trillion dollars of “value” so far. What’s the next killer
app? (Wasn’t dApp).
• Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud and Data (big or small) are the
ABCD of current tech trends. AI over trusted data on blockchain can be
very powerful, but it takes time to build up these data pools.
