Dec 22, 2017 - This research looks at the blockchain start-up Everledger's use of distributed ledgers and artificial intelligence in place of flawed, forgeable, and inefficient paperwork to record and verify the provenance of diamonds. It covers use cases involving fine wine and art where an asset's value depends on its authenticity, and it provides managerial considerations for participants in such high-value supply chains. As of 2018, the platform is based on IBM Blockchain, a version of Hyperledger Fabric. Before 2016, Everledger used Ethereum, Eris, and BigchainDB.

https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/how-blockchain-can-help-regulators/
Dec 07, 2018 - In collaboration with Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada, researcher Alan Majer of Good Robot presents the promise and potential of blockchain applied to the safety and sustainability of Canada’s food supply. He includes in-depth interviews of Emma Weston, CEO of AgriDigital, Padraig Brennan of Bord Bia, and leaders at Agri Traçabilité Québec and BLOCKstrain. Ultimately, he describes a working model of the holistic approach that other government agencies could be taking to test blockchain solutions to pressing national problems that require public-private collaboration.

Governance Of Blockchain Systems
File Type: Document, Infographic
https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/governance-of-blockchain-systems/
Jun 27, 2018 - Decentralization, hashing functions, public key cryptography, and smart contracts are advantageous design features of blockchain systems. These require the coordination of multiple and diverse actors with differing incentives—cryptoeconomics—to solve any problems that arise. This research examines the impact of governance on these systems. Specifically, it explores governance needs at three levels of the blockchain stack: the Internet layer, the blockchain layer, and the application layer, including the deployment of decentralized applications (Dapps). De Filippi and McMullen explain the difference between governance by the infrastructure...

Mar 20, 2019 - This project explores how the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) might leverage blockchain technology to add value to copyright registration at the national level. It describes early proofs of concepts—such as British Columbia business registry—and concludes with a potential course for the future of copyright registration.
Ce projet explore comment l'Office de la propriété intellectuelle du Canada (OPIC) pourrait tirer parti de la technologie de la blockchain pour ajouter de la valeur à l'enregistrement du droit d'auteur au niveau national. Il décrit les premières preuves de concepts - comme le registre des entreprises ...
