Dragonchain 2022 Quarterly Report
2022 is off to a great start at Dragonchain! We were excited to join new partners and new communities to expand our reach. We continued to communicate our capabilities through new blogs that fine-tune what businesses need to know. We also made some improvements to the core platform.

Blockchain Outreach
Smart Ballots and Populist Revolt
Joe and Ralph from Smart Ballots join Populist Revolt for a discussion on how Smart Ballots will bring integrity back to the voting process. Independently auditable technology can be used with paper ballots, kiosk, or mobile voting.
Watch the entire interview here!
Cointelegraph Innovation Circle
Joe was invited to join Cointelegraph Innovation Circle! Cointelegraph Innovation Circle is a vetted professional organization of senior executives and experts in the blockchain technology industry who are building the future through the power of connections, collaboration, and thought leadership.
Joe’s first article is out! The world has a long history of difficulty modeling governance systems. See how we behavior systems can be used to address the risks of DAO manipulation.
Joe was quoted in 11 barriers to broader investment in crypto.
There are two common barriers of entry for entrepreneurs entering the crypto world. The first is excessive and unclear regulations from governments, and the second is the noise from projects operating solely on hype. We can make crypto more accessible by improving communication and education in the fundamentals of the technology.
Also Joe was also quoted in 12 qualities to look for when building a crypto network.
Two factors that I look at when making a new connection are that person’s background and project history. This is particularly important in our industry because so many people are currently operating solely on hype or without the technical or philosophical understanding required to be a valuable resource. Consistency and productivity are important.

10 Questions Businesses Should Ask Prior to Selecting a Blockchain Provider
Businesses looking at blockchain-based solutions will find that the majority of the well-known systems in use today require costly hardware infrastructures, lack flexibility, and require specialized development from a limited pool of blockchain engineers.
These systems offer limited interoperability, often only connecting with other similar protocols. Additionally, connecting these platforms to traditional business systems requires a complete overhaul of those systems and expensive development work.
Most of these inoperable systems are use-case and industry-specific and can't physically and economically scale as business situations change.
Businesses that manage to implement a blockchain solution from one of the more well-known providers, often find their employees struggle to learn the new system. Weeks of extensive training are required and often lead to poor user experiences and low compliance. The end result is wasted time, resources, and many solutions failing to deliver as promised.
Businesses looking to integrate blockchain this year should consider the answers to a series of questions before choosing a blockchain provider.
