Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) have the potential to
disrupt any domain involving coordination among autonomous resources.

This includes finance and payments (e.g., fintech), but also networks
(e.g., power grids or telecom networks), computing (e.g., brokering of edge
resources), IoT (e.g., supply chain, V2X or industry 4.0) or service
platforms (e.g., identity management). BRAINS Conference is dedicated to
these new advances that could make the world of networks and services more
secure, while enabling disruptive new distributed business models.
