27 Agenda Blockchain for dummies Smart Contracts Blockchain for Science : Data integrity, protection & collaboration

28 Introducing a database that is: A fundamental possibility to perform (financial) transactions. Censorship resistant, Tamper-resistant, Auditable

29 Access to finance 75% of population (planet earth) 40% in developing nations 20% of adults with daily income under $2 But 1 billion people without bank account have a mobile phone!

30 Cost of Remitting from G20 countries 8.56% 6.67% Germany France 11.30% 6.09% Japan USA 9.66% 7.57% Average for G20 Countries Source Australia 5.73% 16.95% Brazil South Africa

31 The weird issue of Claimed shares: 49,164,415 Δ over 30%!!! Outstanding shares: 36,793,758 Separate systems were unable to correctly reconcile. (owner of the share / actual owner of the share / really real owner of the share)

32 Blockchain will drive intermediaries out of business!

33 Blockchain and Smart Contracts Bitcoin blockchain = database Ethereum blockchain with smart contracts = World Computer

34 SMART CONTRACT = Program on a blockchain that can control (financial) assets.

35 A New Dimension For Payments Since ~ years Transaction of financial assets from and to: People Organizations

36 A New Dimension For Payments Since 07/30/2015 3:26 UTC (Ethereum genesis block): Transaction of financial assets from and to: People Organizations Programs

37 EXAMPLE: Decentralized insurance Data Source (Oracle) Get your instant payout in case your flight is late. as w t gh me i l F ti on Smart Contract deployment Developer Smart Contract Insurance taker Investor

41 What did we gain? - Permanent publication of results - Attribution of researchers contributions - Interoperability to enable incentives (grants, publications, IP) Blockchain 1.0 #BeYourOwnBank (Bitcoin) Blockchain 2.0 #BeYourOwnJournal (now)

42 Example: Mindfire Token backed governance of: Funding, IP and participant R&D efforts towards true AI mindfire.global

43 Example: HIT.foundation token ecosystem for medical data

44 Example: Covee trust network for collaborative data science
