(Such as reference data maintenance in payment and settlement systems, trade finance, syndicated loans, and tracking provenance of agricultural products and commodities, their subsequent sale or use as financing collateral.)

DLT applications will likely be incremental, and will likely first replace processes and activities that are still manual and inefficient.It also requires resolving consumer protection issues, financial integrity concerns, speed of transactions, environmental footprint, legal, regulatory and technological issues that arise with the advent of new technology.
To understand how DLT can address challenges in the financial sector requires both research and real-life applications and pilots.
However, waiting for “perfect” DLT solutions could mean missing an opportunity to help shape it. We are in dialogue with standard-setting bodies, governments, central banks and other stakeholders to monitor, research and pilot applications based on blockchain and DLT. 
Since this technology is still nascent, the World Bank Group doesn’t have general recommendations about its use for international development. DLT has the potential to transform various other sectors as well, like manufacturing, government financial management systems and clean energy. This could address persistent challenges in the financial sector and change roles of financial sector stakeholders. “Value” refers to any record of ownership of asset - for example, money, securities, land titles - and also ownership of specific information like identity, health information and other personal data.ĭistributed ledger technology (DLT) could fundamentally change the financial sector, making it more efficient, resilient and reliable. Blockchain/ DLT are the building block of “internet of value,” and enable recording of interactions and transfer “value” peer-to-peer, without a need for a centrally coordinating entity. Blockchain organizes data into blocks, which are chained together in an append only mode. 
Distributed ledgers use independent computers (referred to as nodes) to record, share and synchronize transactions in their respective electronic ledgers (instead of keeping data centralized as in a traditional ledger). Blockchain is one type of a distributed ledger.
