At the annual Blockchain Dinner in Davos, Switzerland, New America\u2019s Blockchain Trust Accelerator (BTA) is releasing a ground-breaking Blueprint for Blockchain and Social Innovation. The project, supported by the Tata Trusts — India\u2019s oldest philanthropy — is being released to the public online and attendees at the 2019 World Economic Forum. The Blueprint is a guide to leveraging blockchain technology for the public sector and social impact leaders, with research conducted by the BTA at New America. In developing the Blueprint, researchers conducted extensive interviews with over 50 senior leaders in the fields of innovation, governance, and non-profit management.<\/p>\n
The Blueprint provides a technical overview of blockchain technology and explores applications that increase security, accountability, and efficiency at every level of social infrastructure. The guide covers a broad range of structural, procedural, and technical questions that simplify the process for organizations considering whether and how to apply blockchain in their work.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlockchain technology has the potential to recontour our civic landscape,\u201d said Tomicah Tillemann, the founder of the BTA. \u201cBlockchain can safeguard data, simplify service delivery, provide greater accountability in assessing outcomes for society. Blockchains help build and sustain citizens\u2019 trust in institutions. Harnessed strategically, blockchain technology can do much more than widen profit margins — it can also improve lives and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Throughout the process of conceptualizing, researching and crafting the Blueprint, the BTA partnered with the Tata Trusts. Since its inception, the Tata Trusts have applied innovative thinking for social development. The Blueprint for Blockchain and Social Innovation is designed to help ensure that the benefits of blockchain technology transcend high finance and reach individuals with the greatest needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
