Any industry or operations where intermediaries are needed becauses of a lack of trust between first parties can be desintermediated by a distributed trust network: - Art transactions: registry of origin and property transfers for any object (with authenticated certificate), currently done by lawyers & auction houses (costly, inefficient, painful, near-impossible in some cases) - International shipping: INCOTERMS, currently handled through various specialized intermediaries (costly, inefficient, painful) - Registry of operations over the life of a company (creation/address change/acquisitions/foreclosure), currently done by national commerce courts & accredited local newspapers (costly, inefficient, painful) - Wills: self-authentication of one's will preventing repudiation attempts by third parties, currently done by lawyers and witnesses (costly, inefficient, painful) - Escrow accounts for service providers (ex freelancers) through multisig wallets (inefficient)
