Covid19 presents a unique opportunity to accelerate the adoption of Distributed ledger technologies. BlockchainMonk the research Thinktank headed by Karthik Iyer has undertaken a 100 day research project on the opportunities that this “New Normal” provides Blockchain companies. In an era where social distancing norms are actively enforced by governments and private enterprises are recommending work from home scenarios we look at how some of these practices for the Covid19 world can be benedicted with DLT’s. We will be discussing specific scenarios as governments open up and how smart contracts and distributed ledger systems solve some of the key problems caused by the Covid19 restrictions.
