Blockchain technology has a lower privacy risk since no individual has preferential access to or visibility over the information generated by the network. Additionally, users can have greater control over how, when, and why their private data is accessed and monetized.

Lower Privacy Risk on the Blockchain

Blockchain limits the ability of any party to unilaterally censor transactions or exclude participants from the network. Additionally, the network does not depend on the availability of one or a few key players to operate.

Decentralization of Market Power in the Blockchain

Individuals and organizations on the blockchain are able to self-custody and exchange digital assets without the need for traditional intermediaries.

Less Reliance on Intermediaries on the Blockchain

Blockchain technology creates more opportunities for entrants to reshape the dimensions firms compete on and experiment with new business models.

More Competition on the Blockchain

Blockchain technology creates new ways to reward contributors, allocates rents in a marketplace, and builds applications on top of shared data while preserving the privacy of the underlying information.

More Incentives on the Blockchain

Incentives on actions that build the blockchain network ensure the network is secure, meets demands, and encourages spending/saving. This also leads to lower networking costs since the network is maintained by participants not third parties.

Lower Networking Cost on the Blockchain

- Reduces the probability of leaving market power in the hands of their founders or early participants
- Less reliance on intermediaries
- Lower privacy risk
- More competition/incentives
