This document discusses the potential of blockchain technology and shared ledgers to establish trust and truth in digital systems. It explores how humans perceive reality and form social order, and proposes that blockchain allows for a shared concept of truth through distributed, immutable ledgers. Several use cases are presented, including skill certification and building renovation records. The document promotes collaboration to further develop blockchain applications and build trust between organizations.
