Exclusive Interview with the CBDO of Onez.io: Empowering Businesses with Blockchain Solutions for the Web3 Frontier

Sixteen years onward from introduction of first blockchain application – Bitcoin, the disruptive technology never ceases to evolve. According to Precedence Research, the global blockchain market is estimated to hit CAGR of 85.7% between 2023 and 2032, with a projected value of $2,334.46 billion in 2032. Thanks to the benefits of efficiency, security, and transparency, blockchain already gained a strong foot in the industry: from IBM hosting its own blockchain platform, to companies like Walmart and Microsoft using blockchain for supply chain and digital asset management. The adoption of blockchain-based applications is not uncommon among governments, too — with digital yuan being a major-scale experiment. However, these developments are only a tip of the iceberg.

Recently, blockchain has opened gates to Web3, the new generation of the internet renowned for its decentralized, trustless, and transparent nature. Deloitte highlights that Web3 brings new financial products — while 46% of existing finance apps are already taking advantage of Web3 technology. For businesses, advantages of blockchain’s efficient operations, security, and visibility are bespoke, and can be integrated through white label crypto exchange and payment solutions.Onez.io offers a helping hand in this area.

Onez.io provides blockchain products for Web3, finance, and digital asset businesses, including white label crypto wallets, exchanges, and payment solutions. Their customizable exchange product aids businesses in tapping into the cryptocurrency market, with user-friendly design and wide digital asset support, while enterprise-grade wallets offer DeFi and Web3 access, meeting high standards of compliance and security. Onez.io’s offerings enable businesses to enhance their reach, generate new revenue, and manage their finances effectively in the blockchain-driven future.

In this exclusive interview, we have the opportunity to delve into the world of blockchain applications and the unique value proposition of Onez.io’s products, as we sit down with their CBDO Thomas Zimmerman to gain insights into the future of blockchain technology and its practical implications for businesses.

1.Why is the adoption of blockchain technology necessary for businesses, both traditional and crypto-focused?Blockchain technology enhances transparency, efficiency, and security, critical for businesses today. It streamlines operations in all sectors and is key to innovation in crypto-focused industries. It reduces fraud risks and boosts data integrity, giving businesses a competitive edge.The technology’s complex cryptographic techniques make data breaches nearly impossible. Its transparent transactions build trust with customers. By eliminating transaction intermediaries, blockchain optimizes business operations, speeding up processes and making them cost-effective. It also enables global transactions, creating an international market. Thus, blockchain technology offers significant benefits to all businesses in the digital economy.

2. How can blockchain be used in different industries, and which industries could significantly benefit from blockchain technology?From its inception, blockchain technology has been utilized not in finance alone but also for the purpose of creating document registries and data storage. Today, blockchain is infiltrating many industries, from art through NFTs to medicine. I anticipate that in the next 2-3 years, we will see an increasing application of this technology in familiar services, such as games and social networks.

3. Can you provide insights into the specific blockchain applications that will be trending in 2024?

Sure, let’s break it down. First and foremost, Web3 is designed to provide users with greater privacy, freedom from censorship, and control over their data. It can easily be applied in social context, where these open-source algorithms can aid in managing and preventing the spread of misinformation. On political frontier, blockchain-based voting can facilitate democratic policy decisions. But I still deem it unlikely that such technologies will challenge major platforms like Facebook or TikTok in the near future.

Next, Web3 is closely linked with the concept of an immersive internet, — metaverse. A lot of Web3 initiatives aim to build online environments that reflect the real world. Web3 and blockchain can be utilized for online identities, creating unique digital items with NFTs, and managing online participatory communities. As the internet grows increasingly immersive in 2024, we can anticipate further developments of Web3 in this direction.

Central Bank Digital Currencies is certainly a trend to stay. Those are digital currencies issued by central banks, but they aren’t fully decentralized and remain under the control of the issuing banks. Testing of China’s digital yuan will continue in 2024, but I also learned that countries like the UK, Bahamas, Nigeria, and Sweden have either initiated or are considering creating CBDC.

Last, by 2024, we expect more gaming companies to embrace Web3. Since there are now clearer policies concerning Web3 technologies, we predict a surge in Web3-enhanced games on platforms like the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which might as well incorporate stablecoins as an in-app payment option.

Allow me to share a use case involving our crypto wallet product: a premier mining pool was in need of an efficient, secure solution to manage mining rewards.
