Late lab scale demonstration
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Blockchain technology enables safe, open source, transparent, privacy-respecting peer to peer transactions of value. It will eliminate the need for costly large central organisations to distribute that value, like banks and online retailers.
How?
We develop the necessary blockchain concepts for this. In our architecture, each user maintains and grows its own chain and these chains gets entangled when two users perform a transaction. This makes it scalable and tamper-proof.
When?
We´re at the dawn of a new revolutionary generation of blockchain technology that will have a massive impact. TU Delft has over a decade of blockchain research and is part of this revolution with theory and practice-proven concepts.
