Gref called the deadlines of the "take -off" of the blockchain

The mass introduction of blockchain will begin a year and a half. This was announced by the head of Sberbank German Gref, reports TASS.

“According to our researchers, after about a year and a half, the main technological problems that interfere with the massive implementation of this technology will be resolved. And the “take-off” of this technology after a year and a half, and this is clearly not some distant future, you can plan, ”he said.

According to Gref, so far "no one" does not fully understand to the end. " The head of Sberbank explained that the blockchain is “an subversive technology for the significance of the Internet”.

Sberbank has already launched a “Mvideo” “Blockchain” “daughter”. “The results are amazing. A huge amount of routine work on which many days were spent was killed. The term of operations is reduced from a week to two hours, ”Gref said.

The potential of technology allows you to predict the disappearance of banks “in their classic form”: they will turn into “some kind of cross-platform story that will provide services for a large number of customers”, the banker concluded.

In October 2016, Sberbank, together with the FAS, launched a blockchain -based pilot project - Digital Ecosystem, which allows you to transmit and store documents in an encrypted form. Several Russian companies participate in the project, including Aeroflot and Russian Coal. Two months later, S7 Airlines and Alfa-Bank carried out the first transaction in Russia using blockchain.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed the government to work out the possibility of using blockchain in the economy. He clarified that technology can help reduce bureaucratization in business circulation.
