We are developing a completely original DLT concept from the ground up based on work conducted for European water utilities that need a highly scalable yet secure way to record smart meter and water distribution data on a decentralised ledger. All the properties of a blockchain including decentralised design, fair concensus mechanism, smart contracts, immutable ledger but in a way that can scale for smart cities and smart grids where millions of devices need to generate transactions without limitations of transaction throughput.
This isn't an announcement for an ICO and so this may not be the correct place to post this question but what other industries real need this type of throughput? Logistics and supply chain is an obvious one but what other industries have such operational requirements?
