Though the term Blockchain has become one of the biggest buzzwords only in recent years, it was discovered way back in 1991. It is safe to say that the technology has developed leaps and bounds in the three decades since its inception.While the use cases of blockchain are undeniably beneficial, with most experts believing it can be used to disrupt a wide number of industries, it would be foolish to not be on the lookout for something better.Let’s be honest, even if it isn’t the “big thing” in today’s era, it’s exciting to take a look at more system solutions that may replace the current ones. Blockchain, for one, was definitely not the “big thing” in the early 00s period.On that note, I thought it would be interesting to go over three such pieces of technology that may invariably be the next “big thing,” replacing blockchain.Logbook Technology is aimed to be a direct upgrade of certain features of the existing blockchain system, such as security, scalability and transaction speed. While it may not be decentralized, logbook offers a singular platform for any kind of real-time deals or validations.Additionally, it provides a three-level hashing, set at the server, generator, and validation end to secure data from any malicious interference. There are also two levels of encryption for linking the server-validator and generator-server to ensure the safety of the data packets.Moreover, unlike blockchain technology, a logbook does not run a chain-based architecture, it functions more like a logbook just as the name suggests — meaning all the transactional data is proximate to one another. In this scenario, generators play the role of a node, initiating a transaction and the validators are trustworthy nodes (similar to miners) that are highly distributed. All of this process is looked over by the system, which acts…
