--- visibility: public --- # Non-Financial Blockchain **repo:** [machinomy/awesome-non-financial-blockchain](https://github.com/machinomy/awesome-non-financial-blockchain) **category:** [[decentralized-systems|Decentralized Systems]] **related:** [[ethereum|Ethereum]] · [[bitcoin|Bitcoin]] --- # Awesome Non-Financial Blockchain [](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) > Curated list of projects that build non-financial applications of blockchain. The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value (by [Don Tapscott](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/whats-next-generation-internet-surprise-its-all-don-tapscott)). Most applications of blockchain lie in a financial realm. That makes non-financial applications even more intriguing. Industry of a blockchain application is defined by the one that is changed the most. For example, discontinued IoT bitcoin micropayments startup [21](https://21.co) (now [Earn.com](https://earn.com)) could significantly change both IoT and Financial sectors. Financial industry would expand its _current_ practice to a new domain. For IoT, however, _business model_ would change significantly. That intuition commands current classification. ## Contents - [Identity Applications](#identity-applications) - [Internet of Things Applications](#internet-of-things-applications) - [Energy Applications](#energy-applications) - [Talks and books](#[talks](/@harrisonqian/awesome/wiki/theory/talks)-and-books) ## Identity Applications ### Public Blockchain Identity - [Blockstack](https://blockstack.org) - Platform for decentralized, server-[less](/@harrisonqian/awesome/wiki/front-end-development/less) [apps](/@harrisonqian/awesome/wiki/platforms/apps) where users control their data.
