Research Overview

Author: Andy Spence
Release Date: January 29, 2018

Abstract:

Blockchain will enable organizations requiring specialized talent and capabilities to obtain better information about potential contractors and partners than traditional recruitment methods. With a prospective employee’s consent, an employer will have access to verifiable information uploaded, stored, and managed on a highly secure, distributed database. This paper discusses how blockchain supports HR and talent procurement processes such as hiring or contracting, insuring diversity and privacy, onboarding, training and development, and managing benefits.

Filecoin and the Future of Decentralized Cloud Storage

Filecoin is a decentralized protocol that anyone can download to rent out spare storage space on their computer. An alternative to traditional cloud storage, the Filecoin blockchain-based storage solution leverages a peer-to-peer architecture, creating massively scalable storage capacity without building massive new infrastructure.
