This article features the slides shown during Consensus 2017âs opening remarks on the âState of Blockchainâ.
CoinDesk Research authors a quarterly industry overview report that summarizes key trends, data and events in the public and enterprise blockchain sectors.
The full âQ1 2017 State of Blockchainâ report, which expands on much of the material presented below, will be published shortly after Consensus.
Itâs been an eventful 2017 so far in the blockchain space.

CoinDesk Research also recently tapped into the community to gain more intimate insights into the perception and sentiment around bitcoin and ethereum and garnered north of 1,100 responses.
