Other uses of blockchain technology?

Blockchain or decentralized databases uses cryptography to be secured.

CloudFish is using Block-chain in a very unique way, The CloudFish CASB uses a proprietary algorithm to store and manage users’ encryption keys using block chain technology. Unlike the traditional CASB products available in the market that stores users’ private encryption keys on a single server, the CloudFish CASB splits the users’ keys into fragments and stores it in blockchain. This makes it virtually impossible for a hacker to steal users’ private keys and the digital assets protected through those keys. CloudFish uses a proprietary algorithm to dynamically construct and store users’ keys in the
blockchain. The reconstruction and validation mechanism implemented by CloudFish for users’ encryption keys is very similar to the way blockchain validates your cryptocurrency transactions. The use of blockchain for security keys validation makes it not only impossible to steal but also makes it easy for the user to access it anytime from any platform……means you don’t have to worry what happens to my crypto wallet if my laptop is stolen or lost or if the wallet company’s server gets hacked.

Blockchain, putting it simply, is a database. There's already a lot of research developments concerning blockchain out there. To my knowledge, I think the most famous one is applying it to smart grids. And just recently this May, Microsoft and Amazon announces they're adding blockchain to their cloud computing services.

You should follow IEEE Blockchain and also other blockchain conferences if you want to learn more about it.

There are multiple domains where the blockchain technology can be used. For example, national defense, banking, supply chain, healthcare, voting, food traceability, cars industry, ID verification, land property, ORM and so on... Keep in mind we have not explored every field but you can think that almost every domain can make use of the blockchain tech at some point

it could be uses in business to check whether the task is been done or not and it could be use in medical too. After all blockchain could be use in many things and it depends on what purpose you use it in.

Blockchain technology is currently being discussed all over the world, not just in the world of crypto, there are even those who think to develop blockchain into other industries. You can read this link

Blockchain technology can be used in many aspects, such as in terms of health that can be used to store data of all types of diseases along with medications that need to be administered and store data from any patient suffering from the same disease.
For the music world, blockchain can also be used to store all data for proprietary rights and copyrights of artwork. It is intended to prevent the pelagiat for any registered artwork and to strengthen the existing data.

[Tatzky]

Blackchain can also be use to trace transaction and interaction over the internet most likely it has tracking of their movement...

your understanding was quite good, regard being new in the forum totally your understanding almost perfect perhaps because of your own study in the crypto but blockchain was only supporting transaction only with bitcoin other crypto have their own blockchain some based on ether blockchain in short alt coin.

[blockman]

Blockchain was first used to bitcoin / cryptocurrency but it's not only intended to be used there for this great piece of technology.

Blockchain acts as a public ledger for crypto currencies. It is a decentralized encrypted database whose data can not be altered quite easily. Just serving as a public ledger for crypto currencies is not its only use. Look at the potential of the blockchain technology, we can implement it in various sectors of activities which requires transparency. For example, think about the voting system. If somehow all votes of individual can be recorded on the blockchain, there is no way the voting system can be rigged.

There are a lot of uses for the blockchain tech that isn't limited only to cryptocurrencies. Other banks and big names in business are trying to see whether they can integrate the said tech into their own platforms and protocols, and the way I see it, blockchain would be very useful in logistics which require sorting and arranging data. Literally almost every automated service can integrate blockchain if the engineers can be so kind to learn about it and make things easier for the end-user. Our future would, I think, be largely blockchain dependent and may spark yet another industrial revolution.

For sending money.
Take the advantage of the security of blockchain. and the fast transaction process. Sending money is faster.

[kofibee12]

Energy generation,insurance brokers, drugs or healthcare records keeping are all benefiting from blockchain technology. Not forgetting shipping and logistics and other gaming platform utilizing blockchian for fair gambling.

It's too early to tell for sure. Thousands of startups and companies tell us that they will use blockchain to solve almost any problem in the world, but so far there's no good working example that show how blockchain is used in some industry. Also, it's not entirely correct to compare different blockchains, because blockchain is very closely tied to its parent network, and there are lots of different project configurations - there are private and public networks, permissioned and permissionless, small network and big networks, hierarchical and peer-to-peer and so on - public and open blockchains like Bitcoin have proved themselves to be working and stable, but the same has not been proven for all those other kinds of experimental blockchains. Bitcoin has already repelled many attacks, time will tell whether other blockchains are resistant to attacks or not.

[Sampson7]

There are a ton of employments for the blockchain tech that isn't constrained just to cryptographic forms of money. Different banks and huge names in business are attempting to see whether they can coordinate the said tech into their own particular stages and conventions, and the way I see it, blockchain would be extremely valuable in coordinations which require arranging and masterminding information. Actually relatively every robotized administration can coordinate blockchain if the designers can be so kind to find out about it and make things simpler for the end-client. Our future would, I believe, be to a great extent blockchain subordinate and may start yet another mechanical upset.

[conanrien]

blockchain technology is basically used for supporting cryptocurrency and verify the transaction which is made by the users but it's updating it's program and developing the system so I think if you want you can also use it for checking your business transaction as well.

[Bugatti73]

Personally, such factors as safety, decentralization and anonymity are very important to me, I think for the developer they are the same.

the technology of block chain is extremely helpful. The usage of block chain does not just limit to the usage around crypto currencies. firms are investing on research on block chain to use it in their business, as the usage will make it beneficial for their business. The block chain can be used as a database to store information of every firm.
