Other than large enterprise DeFi projects (e.g. JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs etc) are there any blockchain applications aimed at the B2B space?<p>I'm struggling to find anything that I'd consider to be an app, product or platform built on a blockchain.
Frankly, I'm too the point where this question is a bit too close to "Do you know of any condition that can be cured by snake oil?"<p>Before anyone says that's hyperbolic, the wikipedia page for blockchains uses the words snake oil itself (for some specific use cases): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain</a><p>I suspect you might get more mileage out of looking for b2b uses of the underlying data structure which is <i>merkle trees</i>, which we have to thank for git (and apparently DynamoDB and Cassandra).<p>This article actually looks pretty good: <a href="https://medium.com/geekculture/understanding-merkle-trees-f48732772199" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/geekculture/understanding-merkle-trees-f4...</a><p>I feel like there is more marketing behind the word blockchain than technology. Blockchain seems like it falls squarely into the buzzword category. I feel like I'm completely crazy, but I have never met a person who used the word blockchain enthusiastically who seemed like they knew anything about anything.<p>Talking about blockchain before what its used for? I probably won't take the person seriously.<p>Talking about a project that used blockchain non-gratiutitously and how a blockchain enabled it? Maybe interesting.<p>I'm not looking to smash curiosity, but when I've tried to answer this question myself the buzz is so overpowering.<p>I guess what I am saying is that I am curious too, but not hopeful.<p>(8 hours and counting...)
I don't have any project up and running, but I had tried in the past(and still looking) to get like minded people to work on an open source project to make education equity-based rather than loan-based. It has a genuine use for federated/permission-oriented distributed ledger. Iroha under the hyperledger umbrella was a good choice for the project.<p>If anyone is interested to know more then the project idea and rationale is available here: <a href="https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org" rel="nofollow">https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org</a>
