This enables transparency in auditing and accounting, thus reducing costs and raising efficiency. **4.** Strengthened Security - Blockchain, unlike current technologies and their platforms, operates on a thick stack protocol. This thick stack means blockchain’s security is not an “added layer” but inherent. ** “Gas” is an additive fee that ArCoin shareholders will incur when they transfer their shares in a peer-to-peer transaction. Readers should keep this in mind when considering the “lower costs” of transacting on the blockchain.  **How Can Treasurers Potentially Benefit from Blockchain? **Corporate treasury, like any other corporate function, is continuously evolving. The diagram below highlights the five common concerns of treasurers as they move into a more digitally connected world. We believe that many of these pain points can be addressed through the wide-scale adoption of blockchain solutions.  ![Issues-For-Modern-Treasuries](https://www.ar.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Issues-For-Modern-Treasuries.png?width=500&name=Issues-For-Modern-Treasuries.png) **Blockchain Can Revolutionize Treasury Management… so, what about ArCoin? **As treasurers assess integrating blockchain into their workflows, ArCoin's underlying investments in US Treasuries may offer a less volatile path than more volatile digital assets like Bitcoin. A new digital age is upon us, and the modern treasurer is orienting itself towards the future by learning more about digital solutions that can help modernize its functions. Implementing and advocating for digital solutions today can prepare your treasury for the change in tools and processes enabled by blockchain solutions.
