Blockchain technology has been around for almost a decade now and is most commonly known by its first incarnation as Bitcoin, and a little more recently, Etherium, Ripple, Cardano, Singularity, etc. Although the general public still considers blockchain technology to be solely used as a currency to trade and profit from, there are far wider use cases outside of making money on exchanges like Binance and Bitmex. 

For example, blockchain technology can be used in a huge range of areas, not just as a currency or security. Most notably in logistics, warehousing, traceability, healthcare, vehicle lifespan ledgers, medical records, the sharing and storing for data for advanced AI projects, and of course a huge range of other areas and industries.

One of the most notable advances in real-world use cases for blockchain technology has come from a food traceability blockchain company called TE-FOOD International, which provides farm-to-table food traceability solutions for companies such as Auchan, Grain Corp, Migros, and many more. Using the TFD blockchain food is tracked and traced every step of the way from its life on the tree or in the paddock, to the final purchase instore by the customer. With a complete ledger of data covering the entire journey of any product, issues can be identified, traced back to the exact point of fault and fixed in minimal time at a reduced cost.

Although this is one single example of a real-world blockchain project, there are hundreds if not thousands of other projects in the works, all striving to simplify and organise the way we do things. Even though most people generally get their blockchain and IoT information from Internet searches, getting accurate and detailed information is quite a challenge, which is why a World Congress of the Internet of Things and Blockchain is being held this October in Barcelona.
