10. By interface there is no major difference between a
blockchain-based product vs. a mainstream product
*except for payment app
Here is the Myth!
11. The magic is taking place behind the curtain!
Blockchain is a shared database empowered by
cryptography and decentralized network for
unprecedented:
Shared Ledger
Network
Cryptography
Transparency Security Cost efficiency
13. Lack of traceability. Violation of Ethics and Standards
Inability to maintain the security, hence fraud taking
place. Centralized system data can be modified
anonymously
System integration is complicated, time-consuming and
expensive
Pain points in Current Governance system in Government
14. Token, Votes, Points,
Voucher, Currency
Token & Wallet KYC Smart Contract enabled
Payment
Traceability
How Tokenized
System for
Smart Government
looks like?
15. Validation of Education & Professional Qualifications,
Government Certificates with
Challenge: Inability to
maintain the security and
authenticity, hence fraud
taking place.
Solution: Keeping academic
professional attainment data
on an encrypted identity
wallet empowers individuals
to control access to their
data. It also enables schools,
universities, and employers
to validate “attestations” for
courses and work achieved.
16. The Impact of Digital Identity
Challenge: without control
over one’s identity, it is easy
to become invisible, to be
relegated to the role of
spectator, unable to
participate in society
Solution: The real value of
blockchain is its unmatched
ability to create and secure
an economic identity for the
world’s billions living in
extreme poverty today.
Case: For the homeless population, digital identities registered on the blockchain could reduce the burden of maintaining
physical copies of ID and eliminate the need to procure duplicates . These digital IDs would not only allow users to quickly
and easily verify their identities, allowing them to access more services, but would also build a profile of transactions that
could be shared across service providers through a permissioned blockchain.
17. Smart Voting for Government with
Challenge: Current
centralized voting system
can be modified and
manipulated easily
Solution: The system will be
“tamper-proof”, providing
traceability, anonymity and
security in voting records,
Case: Australia Post has set out a plan to use Blockchain in election voting. The ballot would be integrated
cryptographically within the Blockchain, and votes will not be accessible by the public. Citizens will use voting credits to
attribute their preferences, and receive unique digital access keys before casting votes to verify their identity.
Votes that are cast cannot be changed; election counts can then be easily done by gathering data from the platform.
18. Tracking Loans and Student Grants
Charitable Zakat – with
Challenge: inefficiency, a lack
of transparency in terms of
how the funds/loans/grant are
collected, managed and
distributed
Solution: Blockchain made the
process trackable, auditable,
and immutable, all of which
are essential qualities of any
successful charitable raise
Case: The U.N. agency launched the one-month pilot in May, involving 10,000 of the more than 50,000 inhabitants of
Jordan’s Azraq camp. In this pilot, refugees accessed their accounts via biometric eye scans, allowing them to receive
food.
