BLOCKCHAIN FOR SOCIAL IMPACT

This study is a result of an analysis of 193 organizations, initiatives, and projects that are leveraging blockchain to drive social impact. By mapping and cataloging the landscape of such blockchain applications, our research captured which applications have already begun to demonstrate proven social impact, which industries and use cases are more or less advanced, and what we should be learning from the hundreds of test cases, pilots, and experiments that are using blockchain for social impact.

Key findings include:

- We’re Still in the Early Days, but Impact Is Close

- Blockchain Enables Solutions Not Previously Possible

- The Health Sector Has Attracted More Initiatives Than Any Other Sector

- Blockchain Is Most Often Used to Facilitate Payments and Verify Records
