Blockchain evidence storage technology has several key application scenarios in the compliance evidence chain, primarily due to its immutability, transparency, and tamper-proof characteristics. Here are some common use cases with examples:
-
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
- Scenario: Enterprises need to store audit logs, transaction records, or contract executions to meet regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOX, or financial industry standards).
- Example: A bank uses blockchain to store transaction records for anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, ensuring regulators can verify the data's authenticity without alteration.
-
Supply Chain Transparency
- Scenario: Companies must prove the origin, authenticity, and movement of goods to comply with industry standards (e.g., food safety or pharmaceutical traceability).
- Example: A food manufacturer records each step of production and delivery on a blockchain, allowing regulators to trace contaminated products back to their source.
-
Intellectual Property Protection
- Scenario: Creators and businesses need to prove ownership and usage rights of digital assets (e.g., software code, media content) to avoid disputes or infringement claims.
- Example: A software company stores hashes of its source code on a blockchain to prove ownership in case of theft or unauthorized use.
-
Digital Identity Verification
- Scenario: Organizations must verify user identities for KYC (Know Your Customer) or AML processes while maintaining privacy and data integrity.
- Example: A financial institution uses blockchain to store hashed identity documents, ensuring they cannot be tampered with during regulatory checks.
-
Smart Contract Execution Records
- Scenario: Businesses rely on smart contracts for automated agreements and need proof of execution for legal or audit purposes.
- Example: An insurance company stores smart contract execution logs on a blockchain to prove claim payouts were processed correctly.
