US Treasury Publishes 5 Tips For Blockchain Projects

[shilpy275]

1. Do you need a structured central repository of information?
2. Is more than one entity reading or writing transactions to a database?
3. Is there less than total trust between parties/entities in the ecosystem (for example, one user will not accept the "truth" as reported by another user)?
4. Are central gatekeepers introducing costs and /or "friction" when verifying transactions (for example, manual verification)?
5. Are there routine or logical interactions that occur that could be programmed to self-execute (for example, smart contracts)?
