Use Cases Introduction

Abstract

This chapter covers multiple aspects of applications based on a blockchain network. It discusses benefits, use case scenarios, the development process, user involvement as well as an overall business model design or alignment. Moreover, this chapter discusses the potential as well as the limitation of blockchain-driven apps. Moreover it covers the benefits of so called DApps (Decentralized Apps) as well as their downsites.

Motivation

Every blockchain network pursues goals and has people or organizations operating within it. The means to do so are applications, whichfore, they try to achieve certain benefits that are in line with the basic principles of the blockchain network. Moreover, applications enable the possibility, based on the use cases, to interact and make transactions. These transactions can be part of a business model that benefits the operation and growth of the network.
