The blockchain network does not only disrupt the distribution of transactions without requiring the involvement of a TTP, but it also alters how existing IT systems are integrated.

Whereasin the pastyou needed to build expensive and complex web services and back-end applications in order to implement all of the business rules, with blockchain the logic is part of the smart contract and is available to every participating partner. Moreover, a smart contract can be programmed collectively instead of mandating that each partner program it redundantly.

With blockchain...
