1 year agoI’ve been working with a company that uses a very common blockchain to timestamp documents/artwork/data etc.
It’s a niche use case but it simply couldn’t be done before the existance of blockchains.
Previously this timestamping was accredited by notaries. This had the problems of cost and the trust in a notary did not translate well internationally.
Now it is almost free to do and the cost of manipulating a blockchain (if possible at all) far outweighs the potential gain from malice.
