(KS LawyersMeeting) Blockchain, Smart Contracts
Transactions are recorded automatically in the chain of blocks (serves as the whole
server), access to which are consensually possessed by every blocks therein.
HOW DOES BLOCKCHAIN WORK?
COMMENCEMEN ‘STAMPED’
MINING ‘CHAINED’
T Transaction is
Transaction request is Block is created The block is then stamped and become
sent to the blockchain and validated added to the chain immutable
Miners will be
remunerated for the
mining activities
= Bankers
ANATOMY & FEATURES OF
BLOCKCHAIN
Anatomy:
• Block
• Previous hash value
• Current hash value (transaction code) = generated by Miners
Features:
• Programmable with smart contracts practicality.
• Time-stamped in each block (chronologically dependent)
difficult to individually replicate or manipulate.
• Decentralized (no intermediary) effective and efficient
for verification.
• Practically immutable, due to the locally embedded hash
formula security.
SMART CONTRACT
“Self executing programs which run on the blockchain and
are capable of enforcing rules, consequences, and
computation over every transaction happening in the
blockchain.” (S. Asharaf & S. Adarsh 2017)

CASE STUDY: Blockchain-
Powered Supply Chain
GENERAL PRACTICAL USE OF
BLOCKCHAIN
Financial Services
• Monetary payment instrument (e.g., NFT can be bought by ETH)
Public Notary System
• Identity validation;
• Notarization (e-signing through blockchain-powered app).
Digital Assets and Stocks
• Bitcoin, Doge, Ethereum, etc.
Supply Chain
• Walmart
Voting System
• Immutable identification and data storing
PRACTICAL USE OF BLOCKCHAIN
IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Blockchain Arbitration
• Transactions are conducted based on blockchain, with smart contract, violation
to which will be ”adjudicated” accordingly pursuant to the smart contract.
Blockchain as Evidence
• Proof of transaction carried out within the system (internal verification); and
• Authentication system for information produced outside the system (external
verification).
BLOCKCHAIN ARBITRATION
Key Features
• Fully Automated
• No third party necessary
• Secure, confidential, and effective
Chain of Order:
Tribunal Procedural Order Relays to Kleros Case Examination Final Award (Kleros).
