After a theoretical explanation of blockchain technology, three different use cases in the sectors of elections, land administration and foreign aid are examined with a focus on possible limitations and hurdles that need to be overcome. In conclusion, it seems unlikely that trusted intermediaries in any of the three examined markets can be replaced by blockchain technology in the near future. However, there are various promising implementations of permissioned blockchains to securely digitize processes in all three sectors and make transactions cheaper, faster, more transparent and easier to audit. Many forms of abuse of authority and moral hazard in general could be prevented or at least made easier to detect, thereby not replacing, but at least minimizing the need for trust.
