That brings us to the end of our journey of learning to implement financial services using blockchain technology. I hope it's been an interesting and informative journey for you. The projects covered in this book are meant to give you a fleshed-out idea of how different distributed ledger technology platforms can be leveraged when you are trying to build a financial product using blockchain. You could obviously build these projects and deploy them as is within the development environment setup of your organization, but ideally, I would recommend you modify the projects to meet your organizations' specific requirements and use cases. Building the projects as they are described in this book should get you 70% of the way.

In this chapter, we'll briefly summarize the projects we covered in this book. We'll look at the major takeaways and how you can apply them for building applications beyond those covered in this book. Lastly, we will discuss some blockchain concepts that you might want to look at. It will help to supplement the knowledge you get from this book. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:

• Summarizing our journey
• Extending concepts to other applications
• The road ahead – some additional blockchain concepts
