Italy Unleashing the Full Potential of Blockchain in 2020
The urgent need for a shift from a focus on platforms, i.e. from a "proliferation of new blockchains" to a focus on applications, to existing and consolidated DLT-based solutions The entry, in the field, with all their weight in terms of the capacity of innovation and amplification of the phenomenon of big digital actors such as Facebook, Amazon, Alibaba and others A regulatory framework and work on standardization that has made progress and allows businesses and organizations to design and invest on blockchain more clearly, knowing that it can count on interconnection and interoperability The availability of key performance indicator (KPI), data and scenarios that allow you to better assess the benefits, risks and with what resources to prepare Synthesizing in four points the value of the research and discussion of the Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Observatory is certainly a forcing but it can perhaps help to frame the prospects of the DLT for 2020. Thus, DLT remains a phenomenon characterized by a significant number of Proof of Concept (PoC) and announcements that testify to the attention and at the same time the prudence with which companies and organizations are moving.
And at least some of the causes of this prudence could be solved by two of the key factors we indicated at the beginning: more attention to applications and less propensity to create new blockchains and greater regulatory clarity as factors that bring "certainties". And again the lens with which we observe the research data allows us to see that "The tendency of companies and organizations has been to create new platforms so much that in 65% of these projects it has chosen not to use existing platforms".
