Session: State of Blockchain and Web3 Adoption in Enterprise
Today, new industry ecosystems are being formed on top of new technologies such as blockchain and digital assets that are digitally transforming how data and value flow. Learn about global companies and business networks in production today that are leveraging digital assets, fungible and nonfungible tokens, and decentralized technologies to evolve legacy business processes and revolutionize business models.While blockchain offers significant promise to enterprises, what’s less well known is that the development of most enterprise use cases get stuck due to the challenges of new Web3 programming models and to tackling the multi-party data flows, tokens, privacy and more. The blockchain itself accounts for just 5-10% of a multi-party business process, while cross-party data flows make up as much as 75% of the solution.
We will also talk about how to build digital assets and multiparty systems for enterprise data flows, powered by blockchain. Enterprise APIs and services can be leveraged to build blockchain apps for enterprise radically faster by allowing you to focus on business logic instead of low-level web 3 plumbing. We will discuss the platforms and open source technologies that are rapidly accelerating the adoption of blockchain technology in the enterprise arena.
