Your question is certainly a valid and challenging one Undecided

and it's not uncommon for people to seek concrete examples of blockchain technology outside of cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

While there are use cases for blockchain technology beyond these areas... OF COURSEEE it's true that finding specific, well-documented examples with ROI analysis can be SO PRETTY CHALLENGING... Here are a few potential REASONS ON why you may not have received a satisfactory answer:

It's worth keeping an eye on developments in this space to see how blockchain continues to evolve and prove its value...

Thank you very much for your complete answer.

You listed a bunch of areas that others have listed as well when I asked this question elsewhere. These are definitely "candidates" for blockchain solutions.

But "candidates" are just that: candidates. It doesn't mean anything unless you win the design[/b].

And so far there are no known winners that anybody seems to be able to point to.

And understand that simply saying, "I built this solution using xyz technology" doesn't tell you anything. As the old saying goes, "when your problem is a nail, every tool is a hammer". One "could" write the next version of Grand Theft Auto in Perl, and with enough money behind it from tools makers, it is theoretically possible but... so what? You could have done it some other way faster and cheaper and better.

I've been around the tech industry a long time, and I've seen new buzzwords come and go. The ones that stick around always have an answer to this question.

And none have ever taken anywhere near this long.

I continue to be inclined to believe that blockchain will never be used outside of the realm of NFTs and cryptocurrencies--but I'm open to be proven wrong.
