Tracking Soil Carbon On Blockchain 

Fizza Kamran, 2023

Explore the vital world of soil carbon tracking in our comprehensive report. We investigate the critical role soil carbon plays in the global carbon cycle, focusing on climate regulation and ecosystem health. Discover various methods used for soil carbon tracking, from traditional techniques to cutting-edge remote sensing technologies. Our report highlights the game-changing potential of blockchain technology in securely storing and sharing soil carbon data. In particular, we emphasize its importance for carbon crediting programs, offering security, transparency, and reliability. Soil carbon tracking is essential for sustainable land management and climate change mitigation, and our report showcases how blockchain enhances data management in this crucial field. Learn how the A2B app, developed by Curtin University’s Blockchain Research & Development Lab, provides cost-effective access to this transformative technology.

The Journey of Classic Cars On Blockchain 

Libana Mary Arokiaraj, 2023

This report explores the resurgence of classic cars, their timeless appeal, and the integration of blockchain technology into the industry. Classic cars are celebrated for their iconic designs and historical significance, experiencing a renewed global interest. Blockchain technology is showcased as a means to enhance transparency and security in documenting classic car histories. Through blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) represent a car’s provenance, boosting trust in transactions. Government institutions are also recognising blockchain’s potential to improve various aspects of classic car management. The report underscores that classic cars and blockchain signify a new era in preserving and trading these cherished vehicles, ensuring their legacy continues to captivate generations.

Securing Crypto Exchanges – A Security Report

Dr. Vidy Potdar, 2018

This report emphasises the importance of securing cryptocurrency exchanges to maintain trust and reliability among crypto traders. It analyses the security features implemented by 22 cryptocurrency exchanges and highlights the risks associated with exchange hacks. The report mentions the relevant security standards for cryptocurrency exchanges, such as the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) and the Information Security Management Standards (ISO/IEC 27001:2013). It also provides a list of common security features adopted by these exchanges, including authentication measures, withdrawal security, customer safeguards, email security, storage security, system security, backups, and database security. The report concludes by emphasising that security is paramount in running a crypto exchange and recommends involving a security advisor from the start of development to ensure information security is a functional requirement.

Land Registry Blockchain – A Research Report

Dr. Vidy Potdar, 2018

This report delves into the transformative potential of blockchain technology for land registries and real estate transactions. It outlines the challenges inherent in conventional land registration processes and introduces blockchain’s capabilities to mitigate these issues. The report envisions a future where blockchain implementation leads to reduced processing times, elimination of paperwork, fraud prevention, increased compliance, reduced manual intervention, and heightened security in property transactions.

Blockchain & Provenance: Oranges

Dr. Vidy Potdar, 2018

Food traceability, or provenance, is vital for tracking food from production to consumption to ensure safety and transparency. The concept is exemplified in the global orange supply chain, where consumers seek information about food quality and safety. QR code scanning through mobile apps provides transparency by revealing the journey of oranges from farm to supermarket, including grower certifications. Leveraging blockchain technology, a proposed solution offers a tamper-proof database shared among supply chain entities, digitises transactions, and integrates IoT devices.
