Why is this better than what already exists?

  Post-trade settlement is a very manual and time consuming process, a new solution built on a distributed ledger has the potential to drastically cut costs and reduce settlement time.

    For a financial institution, why is the blockchain better than existing distributed systems like paxos or gossip protocols?
    • dahdum 10y ago
      I'm not an expert in those protocols, but since the blockchain is essentially just a shared ledger, it maps cleanly to their existing needs.

      Why are distributed protocols necessary in the first place? I know nothing about this space.
