BST – Blockchain for Smart Transactions

Home > Research activities > Project directory > BST

Project description

Demonstrating usages and services made possible by the use of a third party.

The blockchain technology is likely to revolutionize transactions and exchanges; just as the internet has enabled peer-to-peer communication, the blockchain technology will in the coming years provide peer-to-peer transactions with a decentralised and autonomous logic. The focus on its possible applications today is akin to taking a step ahead of the next stage of the digital revolution and the advent of a “horizontal” society without intermediaries.

Launched in 2016 for a four-year period, the BST project aims to address three major challenges for project partners and their clients: improving their service offer, optimising costs and developing new uses.

Expected results

Identifying uses that can enhance services around digital trust based on blockchain architectures.
Defining the technical, legal, economic and social conditions that allow the deployment of blockchain oriented services.
Developing a modular digital platform for the instantiation of cross-domain use cases based on a blockchain.

Implemented skills

	Data science and AI
	Digital security and blockchain

Targeted markets

Logistics;
Energy;
Mobility;
Connected vehicle;
etc.
