25 What makes a good blockchain use case? Identifying a good blockchain use-case is not always easy! However there should always be: 1. A business problem to be solved That cannot be solved with more mature technologies 2. An identifiable business network With Participants, Assets and Transactions 3. A need for trust Consensus, Immutability, Finality or Provenance Page 25

26 What makes a good first blockchain use case? 1. A limited scope, but still solves a real business problem Minimum Viable Product in a few weeks of effort 1. A smaller business network Usually without requiring regulators and consortia 2. Allows for scaling with more participants and scenarios Consider shadow chains to mitigate risks Start small, succeed and grow fast! Page 26
