Technological improvements have made things easier and more simple for businesses all over the world.

Can Blockchain technology help businesses reduce their cost of operations using Blockchain Technology?

Blockchain has emerged from the shadow of cryptocurrencies to reveal its genuine potential. There are numerous areas in which blockchain is already a driver of change, and nowhere is this more evident than in SMB operations.

One of the most noticeable advantages blockchain provides SMBs is a rapid reduction in overhead costs. On the enterprise level, there are obvious examples of actual gains and cost reductions that result from blockchain adoption. For example, Saudi Aramco’s blockchain implementation is expected to result in cost reductions of at least 5%. Deploying a blockchain system in your SMB can assist reduce overhead costs by drastically lowering transaction prices. Peer-to-peer networks manage cryptocurrency payments, which do not require centralised verification. As a result, a small business can accept Bitcoin or another blockchain settlement platform and pay lower merchant processing rates.

The mature blockchain business has even generated blockchains that can be utilised for free or with minimal fees. Skycoin (SKY), for example, is a blockchain network that uses an entirely new consensus algorithm (Obelisk, built on the idea of “Web-Of-Trust”). The blockchain employs “Coin Hours” to pay for transaction fees, with coin holders receiving Coin Hours as “Dividends” for holding Skycoin and the Coin Hours acting as “fuel” for the platform to run. Slowly but steadily, systems like CoinPayments, BitPay, and many others that are being developed will enable small businesses to process payments quickly and with little to no cost.

How can Blockchain technology change the future of Businesses in India?

The cryptocurrency Bitcoin was the earliest and most well-known use case for blockchain, but it has now stretched its applicability across a wide range of domains and businesses. “Blockchain has the potential to be a solution provider for any business,” says Arjun Kalsy, VP of Growth at Polygon, which is a protocol and framework that allows developers to build and connect Ethereum-based blockchain networks. “We are already working with multiple state governments, including Maharashtra, on a blockchain solution to provide Covid-19 certificates, while the Telangana government is working on creating NFTs of folk artists, and the governments of Chhattisgarh and Assam are working on various use cases such as land registration, court case registry, and so on.”

Furthermore, blockchain can generate socioeconomic chances by creating jobs on a huge scale and ushering in a new era of technology-led economic growth. “With blockchain, forward-thinking companies (even those in Tier II and Tier III towns) will be able to build apps and platforms that seamlessly cater to a global user base, thereby boosting the ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ concept,” says Om Malviya, Founder and President of Tezos India, which enables the use of Tezos Blockchain.

How easy is it to adapt Blockchain Technology in businesses?

Blockchain can be used anywhere there is an existing system. A blockchain datastore can seamlessly replace the database. Because of its numerous advantages, it has applications in a wide range of industries, including finance, healthcare, real estate, travel, infrastructure, FMCG, IT, entertainment, education, and government. Editing transactions, for example, was a typical occurrence in the financial domain. However, with blockchain, transactions are secure and unchangeable. As a result, money cannot be extracted and digital fraud can be considerably minimised.

Blockchain improves the trustworthiness, transparency, and traceability of data transferred across networks in the digital environment. It enables organisations to become paperless while also increasing speed and automating procedures. This technology not only reduces development time and effort but also improves operational efficiency. As a result of its numerous advantages, it is reasonable to conclude that blockchain technology offers organisations the opportunity to grow swiftly.
