Blockchain for Smart City

Why Smart Cities?
What problems does it solve?
Whose problems? Who are involved?
How are they linked?
What are opportunities and constraints?
What can we do?
Why Blockchain for smart cities?
Current centralized model used for urban services delivery does not guarantee a strong security
architecture associated with more personalized services.
People do not really have any control over their identities. City dwellers have no incentives for
sharing information
Poor infrastructure for future smart cities, esp., IOT related transactions
Most urban services contain multiple intermediaries, which leads to extra costs and more time for customers, less profits for service providers
Why Blockchain for smart cities?
Lack of finance to invest innovative urban projects

4. Smart Contract
5. Payment
6. Tracing and tracking
2. Digital Identity
3. Digital Assets

• Building Open source Credit Bureau on Blockchain– Loan through smart contracts, transparent and
reliable credit history. Enable businesses to get access to our customers, offering them the best service
• Providing Big Data for Businesses– Products are a digital financial identity
encrypted on blockchain and Big data gathered from borrowers’ smartphones
– The Big data of previously unserved customers become really useful for businesses:
• People need money and services
• Businesses need new customers❖ Micromoney is currently operating online
consumer lending in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and ready to launch in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Nigeria on 1st Oct 17
❖ Ready to go in 10 more markets as well and have conducted all necessary research and signed partnership agreements with our future local partners

Streamr : Token-Based Community Engagement
Problem Solving Streamr Product
Provides a decentralized system to create unstoppable real-time data apps. By tokenizing the value in data, anyone is allowed to buy and sell data through the P2P network.
Smart contracts are programmed to work with IoTdevices where the data that comes form devices can be to trigger automated tasks.
Lack of incentives for data sharing
Poor utilization of available big data by organizations
60% - 73% of data within an enterprise goes unused for analytics; data “dies” in storage.
Tokenizes streaming data to enable a new way for machines & people to trade it on a decentralized P2P network
A data stream economy is born.
eGov in Zug : Blockchain Identity For Every Citizen
Problem Solving Solution
Citizens will register their identity on an app that secures personal information using blockchaintechnology and associates it with a crypto address.
Zug is expected to hold an e-voting consensus vote among citizens in Spring 2018.
A lack of identity controls
The process of getting back identity documents requires a lot of time and efforts.
The lack of verification restricts people’s urban activities or even make people vulnerable to identity fraud
“We want a single electronic identity – a kind of digital passport –
for all possible applications. In our city, we do not want this digital ID to
be centralized but on the blockchain.”
---- Dolfi Müller, the mayor of Zug
Decentralized database with citizens data
Slock.it : Securely Rent, Sell or Share Anything Without Middlemen
Slock.it brings the benefits of the Blockchain – transparency, security and auditability
– to real-world objects.
It is developing the future infrastructure of the sharing economy in smart cities.
Solution
The only way to unlock the security would be to meet the requirement of the contract and pay the owner electronically to unlock the item for a certain period of time.
Any smart objects that can be locked (bike, car, house, tools…) can be rented and shared.
Problem
How to rent / sell / share my property?
Payment; organization; matchmaking; security…
e.g. Airbnb apartments become fully automated, unused vehicles get a new lease on life.
