Blockchain: Capabilities, Economic Viability, and the Socio-Technical Environment
Blockchain technology is viewed as highly innovative, particularly here in Switzerland. To gauge its potential and its risks, it is important to regard the technology in a global context and to consider it in all its aspects. This TA Swiss study examines the technical requirements of the blockchain and, on the basis of 12 case studies, compares new and traditional blockchain applications to determine where the new technology brings actual benefits and where it (currently) fails to fully convince.
