The Value Prop showcases the diverse and unique blockchain-based Internet applications that span verticals from social impact to education to security, among many others, all of which have been positively impacting people all over the world in different ways. The Value Prop includes use cases and applications built on any blockchain network, reaching any part of the world, in numerous verticals. The Value Prop demonstrates the fundamental value – and utility – for blockchain (and crypto!), which will only grow over time. We are immensely grateful to all of those who have submitted use cases and applications, and equally as appreciative for those who contributed time, ideas and efforts to bring The Value Prop to life! DEFINITIONS VERTICAL “Vertical” refers to a sector of the economy as we know it today – an area with the same or similar business activities, products or services – but with more flexibility to adapt to the range of use cases with blockchain technology that may not fit neatly into one specific category or another. You can also think of it as a way to thematically group various use cases. USE CASE “Use case” refers to a specific, real world utility for a blockchain-based tool, product, or service that meets an objective or helps to solve or overcome a problem. APPLICATION “Application” refers to a web-based program based upon, incorporating or otherwise leveraging blockchain technology that allows individuals or entities to engage in functions, transactions or communications, typically through a web browser. PROCESS & METHODOLOGY To ensure The Value Prop highlights accurate information about the significant number of use cases that have grown over the past decade and a half since the launch of the Bitcoin network, we engaged in a rigorous process to collect use cases (and projects under each) and applied a strict methodology in including use cases in this database. PROCESS We reviewed publicly available information including but not limited to forums, websites, press and publications and academic / professional research on various use cases for Internet applications that leverage blockchain networks and/or crypto-assets. We engaged with various individuals who have specialized knowledge of the various types of applications being built using blockchains or crypto-assets (e.g., investors at venture capital funds, academics, regulators, and others who have created certain types of databases of various blockchain-based applications) to canvas for additional use cases. We launched Community Policy Initiative No. 1 to engage with the broader web3 community to crowdsource the community’s knowledge of novel, innovative applications that highlight the fundamental utility of this new era of the Internet. METHODOLOGY The following methodology was applied to the use cases / projects included in The Value Prop: 1. Public information (e.g., name of application, category, description, development company, network used, link to site, and contact information) exists about the application that can be independently verified as accurate 2. Operational or near-operational Internet applications associated with the use case (i.e., generic ideas or trends for uses of blockchain technology are not included) 3. Existence of (a) users – current or past – for the application and/or public or identified metrics about the use, and (b) valid and working website providing information about the application. 4. Leverages or are built upon a blockchain network and/or include cryptoassets as part of the application.
