Paul Brody argues that better scalability, privacy tools and onchain liquidity give businesses reason to try enterprise blockchain again. Brody says earlier projects arrived before the infrastructure could meet business requirements, particularly for privacy. Brody estimates that replacing spreadsheets and electronic data interchange messages could let companies operate most supply chains with about 20% less inventory without reducing service levels. Brody argues that combining business operations and payments in one blockchain ecosystem could deliver substantial efficiency and working-capital benefits.
