| TITLE | A Review on Blockchain Beyond Cryptocurrency: Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Blockchain technology, first introduced through cryptocurrencies, has rapidly evolved into a transformative tool across industries such as supply chain management, healthcare, manufacturing, and governance. Leveraging decentralization, transparency, and immutability, blockchain enhances security, reduces fraud, and improves efficiency in data and transaction management. Beyond finance, it is applied in areas like distributed storage, proof-of-location, IoT ecosystems, and decentralized voting, offering privacy through public key mechanisms and integrity through consensus models such as Proof-of-Work. Current research highlights blockchain’s potential to streamline operations, ensure trustworthy data exchange, and build accountable digital ecosystems, while also addressing challenges of scalability, interoperability, and regulation. |
