Reshaping the world at the intersection of money, technology, and human identity.

Blockchain Futures: 2017-2027

By 2027, audacious blockchain experiments will reshape the way we think about everything from cash to computing, from identity to governance. Starting from the cryptocurrencies of today, these experiments will build on the unique affordances of blockchain architectures to create radical zones of transformation. They will catalyze—and be catalyzed by—advances in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things. These chain reactions will coalesce to create a global infrastructure for trusted computing that will touch every sector, every market, every household.

This map is an overview of how blockchains will be used in conjunction with advances in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things to create a global infrastructure for trusted computing that will touch every sector, every market, and every household.
