What are the relevant scenario's for using this? I think it might be useful for IoT devices, but other than that?

Could be anything that you could also use Ethereum for. This provides similar functionality, only with a more familiar (SQL) interface.

Some things I thought of: governmental registries, tracking history of physical assets (e.g. tracking of maintenance history of aerospace components), software licensing, storing timestamped cargo manifests (like the Maersk case). You could even build a currency on this with the right set of privileges.
