Distributed Ledger Technology

A clear, vendor-neutral introduction to distributed ledger technology for teams who want to understand the technology itself: how shared, tamper-evident records work, the real problems they solve, and how to tell when a shared ledger is the right tool and when an ordinary database is the better choice.

Core focus

A shared, tamper-evident record, and when it is actually the right tool

Participants leave with a practical, non-hype mental model: what a distributed ledger is, how several organisations can share one trusted record without a central owner, and, just as importantly, the kinds of problems where a conventional database remains the simpler, better choice.
