Blockchain
Moves away from
the pack

Why: The benefits are enormous
“Numerous research reports put potential efficiency
gains to financial services from blockchain at between
$15bn and $20bn. Already today, using blockchain-
based applications, companies could bring the cost of
a cross-border transaction down from $25 to $1 or $2.
This will drive adoption.”

The Promise of Blockchains
Simon Taylor – Director of Blockchain 11:FS

The Promise of
Blockchains
A Framework for Understanding Blockchain

My Background at Barclays
• Started looking at Blockchain “side of desk” in early 2014
• Became officially full time October 2014
• Identified now over 60x use cases, completed 20 experiments and now
moving into develop pilots
• Founder member of R3 consortium
• April 2016 became the first UK bank to offer accounts to Blockchain
companies
• PoCs and Accelerator companies…

Why Blockchain
FI’s Have Recognised the Potential of Blockchain…
• Met with over 300 Blockchain Companies
• SME’s have delivered live pilots, and over 60
PoCs
for Tier one Global Bank
• Highly networked with access to global network
of founders~
• Former Gartner Head of Digital Banking
leading research tool build out
• 3 of the top 20 Global Fintech SME’s (rated by
City AM)
• Advisors to Governments, Central Banks and
Regulators globally
But are struggling to convert that into value
creating product…
• DAH raised $60M
• R3 consortium 55
banks / exchanges /
asset managers
• Visa / Nasdaq invest
$30M in Chain.com
• CLS Announced first
large scale project
• Total value of
Blockchain investment
exceeds $2bn
• Start-ups struggling with access and SME knowledge to impact Post
Trade, Trade Finance, Identity and Provenance use cases
• Early Bitcoin companies closing or seeking funding outside the USA
• Second wave of Blockchain start-ups based on Ethereum (e.g.
Clearmatics, Axoni) now progressing with banks behind closed doors
• Banking on Blockchain brings commercial and execution expertise to turn
this potential into ARR for these start-ups
We have collated the insights to find value for banks… And assembled the team that allows us to deliver value…

Blockchains without the Coin?
• Recent discourse has evolved. There’s now an argument over what The Blockchain is. Is it the actual
code and network that supports Bitcoin?
• Bitcoin’s breakthrough was to have everyone share an entire copy of an entire ledger. The opposite of
what banks do, but it introduced new problems
• Replicating all data to all nodes isn’t compatible with data privacy legislation banks need to adhere to, it
also places uncomfortable amounts of control on core devs and mining conglomerates (consider there
are 192 SWIFT members, vs 9 dominant miners)
• Richard Brown (R3) described a continuum in 2014 (pictured below) where there are a set of design
choices and trade offs to be made depending on what you’re trying to achieve.

“Blockchain” – A Three Layer Model
There are a number of technologies all being called “Blockchain”
• In addition within each of these technology types, there are a number of approaches each with their own world
view and terminology
• The diagram below attempts to simplify this by abstracting the broader concepts
• The diagram on the right then puts this in the context of Bitcoin (as a reference only)
Shared Ledger - “The Database”
Smart Contract “The Middleware”
Application “The Interface”
Three Layer Model
Shared Ledger e.g. “The Blockchain”
Smart Contract e.g. “Unspent txn Output”
Application e.g a “Bitcoin Wallet”

Smart Contract Implementation Types
Smart Contract is a loaded term that means something very different to lawyers than software
engineers
• Smart Contract Code: Code that governs something important or valuable and executes “everywhere”
• Smart Legal Contracts: Replace or re-implement paper contracts with smart contract code
• The DAO / DAO’s: An entire organisation incorporated using smart contract code, including bylaws, asset
ownership and governance
The Diagram below shows these broken out
• Note: The term “contract” creates a great deal of confusion for a type of software that is actually highly varied and fragmented in approach and design
• Note 2: However the potential for both replacing existing legal agreements and creating entirely novel agreements is still highly exciting
• Note 3: There are now a good number of start-ups offering a mixture of SC1 and SC2 implementations

Three Layer Model Example –
Application Layer (A)
The App layer can be changed easily without changing the underlying technologies
• From 2013 developers began to use the underlying Bitcoin infrastructure (miners, Blockchain and UTXO) to
perform other tasks. This is arguably the simplest change, but is not the focus financial services players to date
• The diagram on the left shows Bitcoin in the standard configuration
• The diagram on the right then shows what a different application might look like with the two base layers
unchanged

• Conceptually the idea is to create one “global” ledger for the world rather than each bank maintaining books and
records separately
• Below is a scenario where multiple banks and corporates need to keep up to date with where their assets and
liabilities are (image courtesy for Richard Brown www.gendal.me )
Today Tomorrow
Reconciliation through paper, many databases
2 – 5 day settlement of transactions
Reconciliation through cryptography “mining”

What is it?
A registry for start-ups to record ownership and founder equity on a blockchain. They have
signed up 6 pilot customers (Changetip, Peernova, Chain.com, Tango, Vera and Synack). The
NASDAQ pilot facilitates the issuance, cataloging and recording of transfers of shares of
privately-held companies on The NASDAQ Private Market.
Why?
Ttypically founder share agreements are verbal, leading to issues at seed and Series A. By contrast
the NASDAQ pilot provides customers with agreed state of equity, the shared history of ownership,
backed up by the network and fixed in the blockchain history. This eases dispute resolution
procedures and ensures data integrity and freedom from corruption.
How did they do it?
They implemented a standard implementation of Chain.com (which is a forked version of Bitcoin
itself). It essentially shared the data between nodes and uses a modified mining algorithm to
sign the transactions
Could they have done this without a Shared Ledger or Smart Contract stack?
Yes, but the audit transparency / certainty would be removed.

What is it?
A customer uses an app embedded in the dashboard of a car to “sign” for a car rental contract
digitally. A “smart contract” (computer code) running on a blockchain records that legal
agreement, and is then able to use that authority to unlock the car and complete the payment
with Visa.
Why?
To create a seamless consumer experience around car rental, for the transparency / audit trail a
blockchain provides. The longer term aim is that cars themselves would use Smart Contracts
to be able to manage their own time (think Uber / Automated cars), a consumer would rent the
car itself for a small period of time. The car itself would manage the administration.
How did they do it?
Leveraging DocuSign's Digital Transaction Management (DTM) platform, eSignature solution
and APIs together with the Visa Token Service for secure payment processing.
Could they have done this with a DevOps stack?
Yes, in fact most of it is on DevOps, it’s unclear what (if any) smart contract solution they’re
using or if its proprietary

The Next 12 Months
Building on early PoCs with regulatory involvement
• The regulatory reaction to the subject of “blockchain” has been interesting. Whilst
Bitcoin as a virtual currency without control presents a few issues, it’s stagnation in
recent years has largely stemmed the flow of regulation in that arena.
• Regulators and governments absolutely see the benefits of the technology and appear
content to allow the subject to evolve. Regulator feedback to new design choices will
be crucial in coming years.
• CFTC speech
• UK Government Office for Science report
• Bank of England / UCL / RS Coin – Governer Carney Remarks
(Impact on liquidity risk, focus on DLT for resilience)
• We’re now seeing the beginnings of free market competition with solutions like Axoni (in
which 7 banks and DTCC collaborated), R3 and Digital Asset now potentially evolving a
VHS / Betamax format war. Pay particular attention to recent CLS announcement.
• There is a lot of whitespace – wherever legal document automation is required.
Payments and settlement likely the last to change because of their complexity

Key Remaining Challenges
Education
• Given the context laid out in this deck, it appears many are still assuming “classic”
blockchains need to be made to fit the scale challenges of banks. Instead of starting
with bank requirements and seeing what blockchain characteristics apply
• The C-Suite understands it’s got hype, but need people they can trust who can
• Understand how banking works today
• Fully get the complexity of the evolving “blockchain” space
• Successfully translate those into business cases
• Can bring the control teams and stakeholders across a large organisation on that
journey
Skills
• Finding and recruiting the right skills into the right team structure will be a key challenge
as the subject scales
• Many hidden gems inside a large organisation!
