This graph from the World Economic Forum shows #blockchain as a trusted infrastructure. At the center is technology; around it, what enables: smart contracts, digital identity, tokenization, security, data, and new forms of governance.
The important aspect is the technology itself and what it reorganizes: economy, work, politics, health, education, climate, and power. Blockchain moves trust from humans to protocol, reduces intermediaries, and forces traditional systems to adapt… we are not witnessing a financial innovation; we are witnessing a change in the rules of the global system.
The inner ring: key capabilities
Around the center, you see the fundamental uses of blockchain:
• Smart contracts and automation: agreements that execute themselves, without intermediaries.
• Digital identity: who you are, what you own, and what you can do, verifiable without relying on third parties.
• Tokenization and digital assets: converting real value (money, art, stocks, data) into tokens.
• Security and interoperability: systems that can communicate with each other without losing security.
• Data and traceability: verifiable and transparent information.
• Regulation and legal framework: how states integrate blockchain without losing control.
• Decentralized governance: new forms of organization without traditional hierarchies.
The outer ring: impact on the real world
The largest circle shows where this technology impacts:
• Economy and finance: monetary systems, markets, investment.
• Work and education: new skills, jobs, and labor models.
• Governance and politics: transparency, reduction of corruption.
• Health, identity, and social welfare.
• Industry, logistics, cities, and infrastructure.
• Climate change and sustainability.
• Culture, art, and digital society.
• Geopolitics and global governance.
