## Description

 Imagine enhancing your existing web2 processes with blockchain—without a complete system overhaul. In this talk, I'll first introduce four pragmatic blockchain design patterns that show how to integrate blockchain into everyday business processes: from time stamping and transparent on-chain data aggregation to tokenizing simple assets and enforcing asset rules. Then, we'll shift gears to explore how these patterns align with modern architectural styles like event-driven systems and microservices. You'll see how blockchain can serve as an auditing module in a microservices setup or be incorporated into event streams in an event-driven design. Join me to learn practical ways to add blockchain capabilities to your existing systems.
