One of Canada’s biggest banks might consider the utilization of a public blockchain to digitally track resources.

TD Bank outlined how it could utilize public distributed ledger to help point-of-sale computers track transactions which was published in a patent application on Thursday. In the plan, computers would make blocks of information in which data about the assets being sold, their value in a given cash and the transactions themselves would be put away.

Recorded in September 2016, it’s not clear if the bank has sought after the idea further than the application. In any case, it’s a noteworthy sign of interest, as large bank blockchain work has for the most part been bound to private or permissioned ledgers.

So, the documenting offers adequate praise for public blockchains, in which any people running the software may effectively approve transactions.

The application stated “One advantage of block chain [sic] based ledgers is the public nature of the block chain architecture that allows anyone in the public to review the content of the ledger and verify ownership,”.

Going further, such a ledger would enable anybody to check that a transaction happened, while utilizing a decentralized platform increases redundancy, thus “[minimizing] risk of falsification of ledgers.”

Somewhere else, the patent likewise comments on the slower speed of such system, proposing TD Bank might turn out to be more acquainted with the attributes of blockchain systems that have been dealt with by different institutions as disadvantages.
