Current Real World Use Cases

I know the blockchain is being adopted across a variety of industries for a variety of purposes, but my field of vision is limited to a short list of coins/tokens. I’m curious, what are some innovative, real world use cases happening right now?

I’ll start with the ones I’m familiar with (Chainlink and Algorand) because I’m a long-time holder/supporter.

Chainlink has more than 2,200 real world projects, including with:

• Google Cloud: Integrates Chainlink’s decentralized oracles to enable hybrid blockchain/cloud applications.

• SWIFT: Collaborates with Chainlink to explore blockchain interoperability.

• Oracle: Uses Chainlink to connect smart contracts with Oracle’s cloud infrastructure.

• Associated Press: Provides verified data to smart contracts via Chainlink.

• Fidelity: Leverages Chainlink for secure data feeds in financial services.

• DTCC: Uses Chainlink for post-trade financial services.

• ANZ Bank: Integrates Chainlink for secure financial messaging.

• Hedera Hashgraph: Partners with Chainlink for decentralized data feeds.

• Polygon: Uses Chainlink for secure and reliable data feeds on its network.

• Aave: Integrates Chainlink for DeFi applications.

I’m particularly excited about the universal gas token.

A second impressive example is Algorand. They’ve got some seriously innovative projects that demonstrate Algorand’s flexibility:

• Lofty: This platform allows users to invest in tokenized real estate, making it possible for anyone to own a fraction of a property.

• Wholechain: Utilizes Algorand to enhance supply chain transparency and traceability, ensuring the authenticity of products.

• Agrotoken: Uses Algorand to tokenize agricultural commodities, providing farmers with more liquidity and better access to financial services.

• TravelX: Pioneers the use of NFTs for airline tickets, enabling secure and flexible travel bookings.

• HesabPay: The first interoperable digital payments platform in Afghanistan, leveraging Algorand for secure and efficient transactions.

• Data History Museum: Uses Algorand to preserve and authenticate historical data, ensuring its integrity and accessibility.
