 Hello everyone, wherever you are, good morning everybody, I am going back to Barcelona, I am the name of the city, and I am the vice president of a lot of people. I am working with the city partners, and I am going to work with the city of the landscape. The idea of the other landscape was conceived at the Hyperledger Global Forum last year. It was actually the last in-person event I attended in 2020, and so we were talking about the fact that the whole DLP space was growing in complexity in the last few years. We have seen an increasing activity and interest in areas that were outside of that core distributed ledger layer that now I guess we all know. It sort of created a confusion over where specific projects and company offerings as well as specific networking implementations fit into the overall system, the ecosystem. We thought that creating a sort of business stack that had a technology foundation would be really useful to mitigate that confusion in the market, but also to again provide a better understanding of the different participants of the ecosystem. There are specific offerings, but also just to create a common language in the DLP community and provide even a strategic tool that you could use for better positioning for your specific offering. Also look for partnerships as well as sort of tweak your go-to-market strategy. In terms of what we came up with, this is sort of the framework for the DLP landscape and this is the initial version of it. As you'll see, we go from that basic compute infrastructure up to the distributed ledgers, which we sort of differentiate between permission and hybrid ledgers. Also we thought that distributed ledger technology doesn't really stand on its own, so we thought that many of the use cases sort of required a combo of different technologies coming together and then provide that desired outcome. We sort of created another layer that we would call technology intersections. The keynotes, I think, David Tree from Accenture mentioned this combinatorial technology and I think that's what this layer reflects, actually how the core blockchain technology sort of works together with other existing emerging technologies. Could be AI, IoT, cybersecurity and so on. And then again, when we think about that we are living in a multi-ledger world, it started with the Bitcoin blockchain over a decade ago but then all sorts of new protocols came to existence because while trying to sort of address the flaws of the original, we could call it the original blockchain, but also catering to enterprise requirements and solving some of the problems that arise or just simply new requirements. So interoperability will be key and I think that obviously that's reflected in the landscape. Right now it's still composed by very fragmented initiatives, but we'll see how that evolves. I guess it's still a little bit early, early days, but again it's a very important area. And then obviously smart contracts and digital tokens, they play a key role in this space. Smart contracts, they have become known to the world as self-enforcing business logic that is on sort of top on that core distributed ledger that can sort of automate the rules of engagement and different business processes where different parties coming together. And again digital tokens as well, especially lately with NFTs and everything, there has been a lot of noise around that, but it is definitely a key part of this market together with Digital Wilds and so on. And then we cannot forget about business tooling and integrations. At the end of the day, this technology is very complex. It's not straightforward to use, obviously not for the end user, but perhaps not even for the developer. So then we need those tools that make that easy. So you can build on that sort of blockchain infrastructure and focus on your application and build those multi-spart systems and so on. So that's where this business tooling and integrations layer comes into the picture. And there are again different categories around different tools that help the developer itself, also some early monitoring tools as well as very specific platforms that have been already existing, but now they have this sort of distributed or decentralized capability underneath. And then obviously the applications on top, there have been many industry specific implementations, trade lands and in different industries, creating specific business networks, sort of addressing a very specific industry problem, as well as the centralized marketplaces could be to trade all sorts of assets. It could be data or even any in-game collectibles or so on. So those would be on that level. And then you will see on the framework that on the two sides, the platform category or layer as well as the services one, obviously IT skills gaps as well as the lack of resources that organizations may have, you would need some help with that. And there are specific companies that are vendors or service providers that focus on making your life easier. So providing all that knowledge that you don't have or just basically providing some quicker time to market for you. So taking away all that pain that comes with operations and management, setting up blockchain networks or even building applications. So just providing all that infrastructure and knowledge and so on. So they can help you with that. So this is the framework. This is where all started. And now I guess we should be talking about the outcome, right? So what we wanted to do based on this framework is to create a sort of a living segmentation of this market that it's still evolving. It's again, we see it as a business stack with the Technology Foundation. And so we found this application, this landscape app that was created by the CNCF project under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation. So basically we used that open source code and we did build an open source initiative that it's based on that same open source code. And it's sort of interactive. At the end of the day, we created it as a company, BTP, and we are going to curate it or continue to create it and we'll be hosting it. But it is independent of the company, right? So obviously, our competitors are on the landscape. It's just we created it for the community to benefit from, contribute to and so on. So before showing the actual landscape, we launched it in April on the 22nd of April. It had a press release. It has a blog post as well. It explains the whole background of what I already explained to you, the background of the landscape, what the different layers mean and what the purpose of it is. And, you know, it's home. It's the artist landscape org. It has its own QR code. It's sort of created a person around it. It has its own Twitter account. She tweets in first person and so on. But, okay, well, yeah, just, okay, sorry, I want to show you. And then we can talk a little bit about the dynamics, right? So this is how it looks like right now. I think to be honest, I think this is pretty awesome. The application has its limitations, but we did create, as you can see, we did create the same, you know, structure as shown on the framework, going from the infrastructure, you know, goes up to different levels and then end with the applications, with the platforms and services on the site. You can see those little squares. Those are, you can call them by project or company cards. So if you click on them and then, obviously, as we are at High Collegiate Global Forum, let's check a High Collegiate Project. All right, so Distributed Ledger at High Pledge of Bezoo, we love High Pledge of Bezoo, is in that Distributed Ledger layer among the hybrid initiatives. And as you can see, so if you click on that specific card, you will see some basic dates around, you know, the project or if it's a commercial offering around that offering and the company and so on. So one thing to highlight is that to be able to be part of the landscape, you need to have an account on CrunchBase because, you know, that this base information is pulled from CrunchBase and all that information that is displayed there, as well as, obviously, if you are an open source project, then also your GitHub repo. So we are, you know, all that information is in the landscape and then all the data is pulled right there. So you can see, you know, High Pledge of Bezoo, it has, you know, website, repo, the account of High Pledge, some data, you know, some data around developer activity and so on and even, you know, the latest tweets of High Pledge. Obviously, you know, if you are an organization like High Pledge that has different initiatives or if you're a company with different offerings that you might be, you know, in different categories, then, you know, what, you know, we are trying to do is, you know, is to pull some specific information on that specific offering or project, right? But obviously we are using the CrunchBase account is just for an organization, but that we are trying to pull in some data from your specific project. So, okay, that's it. You can also see that, you know, you might see some of the logos are not the actual logos, but there are some placeholder logos, which are, you know, those cars that are displaying the DLT landscape logo. That's, there is an explanation for that. It's because, so this application requires that we have a logo of the specific organization or offering in SVG format. So if we don't get the SVG format, we cannot display it. We are so sorry, but that's how it is. So for example, if, for example, we look at cybersecurity, let's click on this one, oh, Altar. So Altar is, yeah, it's a impious security startup. They are using distributed ledger technology. And, but yeah, again, you can see all the data about the company, their tweets, we had all that information, but we didn't get their logo. So again, we, if you want to, if you want to make any correction, basically, if you see yourself on the landscape and, you know, you see any mistakes or, you know, you want to, you think that you might be in another category or you need to be in more categories. All you need to do is pull, is submit a pull request, right? So you can do that. Again, with the same thing with the logos. If you see your car there, but you don't have a logo, if you submit your SVG, the genuine SVG format, a logo, you know, we can approve that and it will be displayed. So this is what you need to do. So essentially what we created, it was, you know, the whole framework, you know, with a, with a good list of projects and companies with their offerings on that. It's not an exhaustive list. So there are so many initiatives in the DLT space, as you can see, as you can see the market right now is pretty fragmented, it's very complex. So, you know, if you don't, if you don't see yourself here, please let us know. Well, just submit a pull request or you can reach out to us as well directly, we can make that happen. And again, if you see, you want to make a correction or suggestion, yeah, again. So we want this to be, you know, something really useful for the community, created by the community. So it's now, let's say it's, it is in the wild, right? So please, I invite all of you to contribute to it and we are really excited about this and we really hope that this is useful. Again, as mentioned before, you can use it as a strategic tool. It helps you, you know, see where you, where you are in the landscape, how you can, you know, better position yourself, who your competitors are, maybe that will help you improve your messaging. Also, you know, you can see, you know, who are those, you know, different initiatives or projects or companies that you should be partnering with and, you know, and just, you know, take that next step and tweak your go-to-market strategy. So I guess that's it for me. So I, yeah, I'm going to take a look at if there are, you know, any questions. I'm very happy to, you know, answer all those. All right, no questions. There's a chat. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Troin. Again, you know, if you have any questions about the DLT landscape, you know, let us know. We are silver sponsors of this event and we have a virtual booth and just, you know, stop by and let's have a chat and, you know, let us know what you think and again, you can just, yeah, reach out to us. We are more than happy to help. And again, if you don't see, if you are active in the DLT landscape, well, sorry, in the DLT space and you don't see yourself on the landscape, please let us know or just, you know, submit a pull request. Let us know or let us know and we can do that for you. And, you know, again, hopefully this is a useful tool for the community. There are actually a couple of questions in the Q&A tab. Sorry, because now I can see it because, yeah, I was clicking it. Where do we do pull requests? Yes. So, as if you give me a sec. Git, so you can see, yeah, yeah, it's, is that my, you can please open a pull request, right? So you can click there or just go to GitHub, right? It's GitHub DLT landscape. So you can, you can create your pull request there. Can you tell us about your work with the DLT? Well, thank you for that question. That's something new. So we have just launched that sort of technical working group. We had our first meeting this week and actually it's, you know, it's a really good questions because we have, you know, we have started to talk about if, you know, this is something that, you know, we could collaborate on if, you know, we could find a way to, you know, bring these two sort of initiatives together and how we could extend this landscape and reflect the work of the GSMI. So that's something that we are working on. Excellent question. Any, yeah, any other questions? Can you tell us? Yes. Yeah, so I guess, so for now the landscape, it's sort of, it's, as you can see, it's very vendor focused and it's not only commercial companies but also those projects that are either underpinning or have an open source offering. But then, yeah, so what we could add and I think we will start to think about is those, adding those or somehow those organizations, you know, we don't want to overwhelm the landscape but I think we will need to perhaps add those organizations that are a little bit on the sidelines but very influential, right? They might not be a technical offering but, you know, they are influencing the market. So I think that's something where, yeah, we could improve the landscape and again, you know, if, yeah, please suggest any ideas, just take a look, take your time, take a look at the landscape and just let us know what, you know, what you think, any suggestions and the idea is to, you know, make it grow. This is sort of our first version and we want to make this really useful for the community. So thanks so much. Could you add tech capital funds and investors? Yes, okay. So there's a question around capital funds and investors and then again, I guess, yeah, you're right. So those are, those would be including that category. There are not like specifically offering a technical offering but then we should be, yeah, those should be reflected on the landscape. I do agree. So we will work on that. Yeah, definitely. So thanks for that suggestion. Any more questions? How did we? So how did we come up with permissionless blockchains? I mean, you know, so I, I don't know if this is an ironic question or not. I guess, you know, a little bit, if you look at how the cloud market has evolved and, you know, initially we had, you know, AWS and the whole idea around public cloud and then, you know, organizations looking at all the security aspects and privacy and so on. And they were not that comfortable with public clouds and then, you know, we have seen the emergence of private offerings. I think, and then obviously the market has evolved and now it's hybrid and, you know, pointing to more usage of public cloud and so on. I guess something, perhaps something similar is happening in the blockchain space. The initial idea was like fully public and then, you know, obviously enterprises saw the opportunity and the potential of the technology and, you know, there are specific enterprise requirements that those, you know, public blockchains couldn't comply with or at first instance and then, you know, all those offerings have emerged and then we'll see where the market goes. But we, I guess I just see a very, very similar trend to the cloud market, like going to hybrid and then who knows. But yeah. Any other questions? Thank you, Troin, and thanks everyone for the questions so far. And again, I'm happy if you, you know, if you're shy or you don't ask your question here, I'll be here today, well, tomorrow and after tomorrow. So I'm happy to answer any additional questions, not offline, online, but, you know, outside of the session. Okay, I'll wait just a few seconds if there are any more questions. Okay. All right. Well, I think we are, yeah, we are about to finish the session anyway. So thank you so much for those who attended and I hope this was useful and we are really excited about this initiative and, you know, just, yeah, again, let us know what you think. And again, I really hope that this is useful for the community and I'm available for questions outside of the session. So thank you so much. Have a great afternoon, evening, wherever you are. And hope to talk soon. Thank you so much.
