I’m surprised there’s no mention of R3/Corda. There’s a lot of good real-world application of blockchain in their portfolio, which us effectively a consortium of banks working together. Documentary trade finance is where blockchain finds decent uses.

I tried to Google this and all I was able to learn is it's backed by big banks and it lets you transact without disclosing information to your competitors. Still can't quite understand if there's anything to it beyond hype and FOMO.

  Good example is Contour (formerly Voltron), a DLT based system for trade finance. https://contour.network/ https://contour.network/

    Leaning more towards hype and FOMO after glancing through that.

I generally stayed away from the crypto folks at my old firm, but I did get tangentially involved in one project that remains the only reasonable blockchain use-case I’ve seen — a Corda dapp for untrusting and untrusted financial parties to independently negotiate multilateral financial instruments in a permissioned chain. Looks like the consortium involved is still operating it.
