The Gartner Inc. 2019 Hype Cycle for Blockchain Technologies shows that blockchain is sliding into the Trough of Disillusionment. The market will begin to climb out of this Trough by 2021, as technology advances and pragmatic use cases uniquely supported by blockchain continue to roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Trough of Disillusionment highlights technologies and markets where interest has waned as experiments and implementations fail to deliver (see Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBlockchain technologies have not yet lived up to the hype and most enterprise blockchain projects are stuck in experimentation mode,\u201d said Avivah Litan, distinguished analyst and research vice president at Gartner. \u201cBlockchain is not yet enabling a digital business revolution across business ecosystems and may not until at least 2028, when Gartner expects blockchain to become fully scalable technically and operationally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For blockchain to become mainstream, Gartner said users shouldn\u2019t have to worry about picking the right platform, the right smart contract language, the right system interfaces, and the right consensus algorithms. Additionally, concerns about how users will interoperate with partners that use different blockchain platforms for their projects must be rectified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are witnessing many developments in blockchain technology that will change the current pattern. By 2023, blockchain platforms will be scalable, interoperable, and will support smart contract portability and cross chain functionality. They will also support trusted private transactions with the data confidentiality required. All together, these technology advances will take us much closer to mainstream blockchain and the decentralized web, also known as Web 3.0,\u201d said Ms. Litan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver time, permissioned blockchains will integrate with public blockchains, and will take advantage of shared services while supporting the membership, governance and operating model requirements of permissioned blockchains,\u201d said Ms. Litan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
