Feb 11, 2019 - This case study outlines the potential benefits for all stakeholders in the Montreal-based Eva ride-sharing cooperative—car owners, drivers, passengers, and local governments. Based on the EOS blockchain protocols, Eva peer-to-peer transportation is an open-supply system, whereas the taxi and limousine business is a fixed-supply system. Those two models cannot be regulated or run in the same say. This case looks at the tough road ahead for any start-up in such a hypercompetitive market.

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.

A New Look at Bitcoin

https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/a-new-look-at-bitcoin/
Jul 31, 2020 - This research takes a fresh look at the Bitcoin network and its native currency, bitcoin. Its authors argue that, while the Bitcoin protocols have proven successful for financial applications, they have hindered scalability, privacy, and programmability. Because of these implementation challenges, some enterprise leaders have looked to Ethereum and other blockchain solutions. But other development teams have found innovative ways to evolve the Bitcoin network and its enterprise capabilities. By building directly on top of existing Bitcoin infrastructure, businesses can profit from its security and network effects without incurring the costs a...
