Currently, information technology is scurrying. The internet is no longer used only for communication between humans but has grown beyond that. One of the new technologies that have been widely discussed in recent years is Blockchain.
This webinar was organized by Telkom University on Thursday (9/12) and discussed what Blockchain is and its application to the economic sector in the current and future eras.
Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation, and Cooperation at Telkom University, Dr. Rina Pudji Astuti, hopes that this webinar will provide participants with insight into the use of Blockchain. The challenge now is related to the security and reliability of the technology used. “Technology is needed to increase that trust. So this Blockchain is what we can take advantage of,” he said.
This webinar collaborates between the Digital Business Ecosystem Research Center, Telkom University, and the Indonesian Blockchain Association. Carrying the theme “Blockchain Technology Application: Current & Future Economy,” there were three speakers who were already quite experienced in this field. To convey how Blockchain can change a country’s economy effectively and efficiently.
The three topics discussed in this webinar are the use of Blockchain in terms of the business supply chain, security & privacy, and crypto-assets.
Juwita Winadwiastuti, Head of Development at HARA, said that Blockchain from the supply chain side could directly benefit the community.
HARA developed a project called Crowd planting, which helps farmers have quality crops with the help of blockchain technology and the Internet of Things that can provide information regarding the quality of the cultivated land used.
Meanwhile, Danny Bagaskara, Founder of Vexanium, revealed that Blockchain could be used for various fields, one of which is about Digital Rights such as NFT (Non-Fungible Token).

In addition to the two things above, Blockchain can be used to grow digital assets whose value continues to rise in the long term. As we know, a crypto asset that is quite popular today, namely Bitcoin, its value has increased by thousands of percent since its launch. Apart from BTC, other coins have the potential to become digital/crypto assets that can be utilized for future asset growth.
