Celem artykułu była analiza korzyści i ryzyk związanych z wykorzystaniem technologii Blockchain (łańcucha bloków) w obszarze ubezpieczeń rolniczych. Do oceny potencjału łańcucha bloków wykorzystano analizę literatury przedmiotu oraz metodę studium przypadku. Analizowane były rozwiązania i aplikacje oferowane przez firmy prywatne na komercyjnych platformach cyfrowych oraz oferta ubezpieczeniowa dostępna bądź planowana do udostępnienia na platformach tworzonych przy współudziale i finansowym zaangażowaniu sektora publicznego. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala stwierdzić, że rozwiązania oparte na Blockchainie, w połączeniu z dodatkowymi funkcjami integrowania i analizowania danych z otoczenia, mogą istotnie poprawić ochronę ubezpieczeniową i zarządzanie ryzykiem w rolnictwie. Oparcie się na danych rejestrowanych i sprawdzanych przez wszystkie węzły sieci zwiększa bowiem pewność i przejrzystość transakcji na rynku ubezpieczeniowym i równocześnie prowadzi do zmniejszenia asymetrii informacji, która jest główną przyczyną zawodności rynku w segmencie ubezpieczeń rolniczych. Inteligentne umowy ubezpieczeniowe oraz rozwiązania zakładające automatyczne płatności i wypłaty odszkodowań (m.in. w stabilnych kryptowalutach), mogą dodatkowo ograniczyć koszty transakcji i usprawnić relacje kontraktowe między ubezpieczycielami i ubezpieczającymi się rolnikami. W rezultacie Blockchain może zwiększyć pulę dostępnych ubezpieczeń i zakres ochrony ubezpieczeniowej w sektorze rolnym. Technologia ta wzmacnia szczególnie możliwości rozwoju ubezpieczeń parametrycznych, które koncentrują się na ryzykach pogodowych oraz związanych ze zmianami klimatu. Z drugiej strony, z technologią Blockchain wiążą się też określone problemy i zagrożenia (m.in. ryzyko celowego zaśmiecania łańcucha bloków danymi niezweryfikowanymi na wejściu bądź o niskiej jakości, problem dużego śladu węglowego publicznych sieci P2P czy wciąż niepewny kształt regulacji i rozwiązań prawnych odnoszących się do inteligentnych umów dokonujących płatności w kryptowalutach). Mimo wszystko należy oczekiwać, że zainteresowanie cyfryzacją ubezpieczeń rolniczych w oparciu o technologię Blockchain będzie rosło. Wpływać na to będą zwiększona częstotliwość wydarzeń klęskowych powodowanych przez zmiany klimatu oraz rosnące koszty obsługi tradycyjnych instrumentów ubezpieczenia ryzyk występujących w działalności rolniczej.

The World Economic Forum marked Blockchain technology (BCT) as one of the seven revolutionary technologies of the future. It is a distributed ledger system ensuring transparency, security, immutability, interoperability, and provenance. This article tries to understand the technological aspects, working mechanism and explore different areas where BCT can be applied in agriculture. Data in BCT is stored in a series of blocks contains the hash value (previous and the current), timestamp, and difficulty details, secured cryptographically with a symmetric or asymmetric digital signature to avoid data tampering and fraud. Traceability (supply chain), using Smart contracts (in Agricultural insurance, Crop finance, Land records) achieved by the BCT and the companies (Carrefour, Trace harvest), states (Telangana, Andhra Pradesh), and countries (Kenya, European Union) practicing are discussed. The Farmer producer company- Sahyadri farms keen implementation of blockchain fetched benefits to farmers amid Covid times. Finally, addressing the barriers in practicing the BCT in India- Technology maturity, energy cost, and education. The massive potential of BCT is yet untapped, to reach up to the farmer level, which will flourish in the coming years.

Blockchain is considered to be a disruptive core technology. Although many researchers have realized the importance of blockchain, but the research of it is still emerging. It is the record-keeping technology behind bitcoin and is one of the hottest and fastest growing skills in the IT sector today. It serves as an immutable ledger which allows transactions to take place in a decentralized man Blockchain-based applications are rising up, covering numerous fields including finance, healthcare, product management, Internet of Things (IoT), and many more. However, there are still some challenges of blockchain technology such as scalability and security problems which need to be overcome. This paper comprises of a comprehensive study of Blockchain technology. We have included here a deep dive into how blockchains work, its architecture, consensus and various applications. Furthermore, technical challenges are briefly listed.

The key objectives of this paper is to propose a design implementation of blockchain based on smart contract which have potential to change international mobile roaming business model by eliminating third-party data clearing house (DCH). The analysis method used comparative analysis between current situation and target architecture of international mobile roaming business that commonly used by TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The purposed design of implementation has validated the business value by using Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculation. This paper applies the TOGAF approach in order to address architecture gap to evaluate by the enhancement capability that required from these three fundamental aspect which are Business, Technology and Information. With the blockchain smart contract solution able to eliminate the intermediaries Data Clearing House system, which impacted to the business model of international mobile roaming with no more intermediaries fee for call data record (CDR) processing and open up for online billing and settlement among parties. In conclusion the business value of blockchain implementation in the international mobile roaming has been measured using TCO comparison between current situation and target architecture that impacted cost reduction of operational platform is 19%. With this information and understanding the blockchain technology has significant benefit in the international mobile roaming business.

The purpose of the article. The article considers the Blockchain technology asan innovative tool. In particular, the essence and background of the developmentof blocks, the principles and specifics of the functioning of the system, as well asthe scheme of its work, are determined. The article presents the prospects forusingdistributed registry technologies (blockchain) in various socioeconomic spheresrelated to state administration. Provided examples and forecasts of the use ofblockchain technologies in the provision of state and municipal services forindividuals and legal entities in the following areas: formation of a unified registercontaining the history of the placement of the state, municipal order, as well asprocurement of corporations with state participation and / or control; registers ofdocuments (diplomas, certificates, lost and disavowed passports, policies for movableand immovable property insurance, health, etc.); database of court decisions andexecutive proceedings; public participation portals for citizens of Ukraine district- city – country. The fact that the blockchain technology is, first of all, theprinciples, and not the only possible way of implementing them, allows us to counton maximum openness and multivariate application in a dynamically changingchanging«digital world». Methodology. The research methodology is to use a combinationof methods: analytical, historical, comparative. The scientific novelty. The priorityof state blockchain systems introduction in stationary and distant voting, distributeddocument circulation, medical data registration, land resources registration,electronic auctions (auctions) in Ukraine was grounded. Conclusions. Already today,blockchain systems can change the role and participation of citizens in the conductof the state-management process, by raising the responsibility level, from thetransparent will expression in the elections to regulating the government serviceactivity in the society’s digitization conditions. The main advantages blockchainsystems using by public authorities that will increase the level of citizens trust todigital technologies using in general, namely: reliability and reliability of datastorage, transparency of transactions and virtually absolute protection of informationfrom distortion and unauthorized removal (relocation), are determined. In furtherscientific research it is proposed to consider the promising areas of the blockchaindigital technology usage: service activities of public authorities, legal proceedings,property rights management, implementation of migration control, verification ofgoods and services, registration of data on passing qualifying tests, patenting,intellectual property, digital identification, logistics , taxation, accounting ofbudget funds movement.
