Why is blockchain interesting? Blockchain is particularly intriguing in the context of anti-corruption and innovation due to its potential to enhance transparency and accountability. By providing a decentralized and immutable ledger, blockchain can significantly reduce the risk of fraud and tampering, fostering trust in public and private sector transactions. Its application extends beyond cryptocurrencies to critical areas such as supply chain management, electoral processes, public procurement and beneficial ownership, offering robust solutions to counter corruption and improve governance globally.
