The council has produced a number of resources for the blockchain market, including:
- 7 Myths About Blockchain – Busted, an examination of seven popular myths about the technology and the truth behind each one.
- Pivot from a Struggling Industry to New Opportunities: A Blockchain Use Case, which details how a blockchain application developer adapted an existing solution to provide help for health care workers on the COVID-19 frontlines.
- Blockchain Terminology : A Glossary for Beginners, a comprehensive list of terms that blockchain beginners need to know.
