Abstract

Blockchain technology evolved beyond cryptocurrency due to technological advancements. It’s a secure decentralized ledger system that uses cryptography and smart contracts to record tamper-proof transactions, offering an efficient way to manage data in various industries. Supply chain management, finance, logistics, healthcare, and energy are some of the sectors that can benefit from its transparency and security features. For instance, block-chain technology can be used in supply chain management to track products from their origin to their final destination, ensuring transparency and accountability along the entire supply chain. However, blockchain faces challenges such as security vulnerabilities, scalability, privacy concerns, energy consumption, and interoperability, which need to be addressed before realizing its full potential. Blockchain’s applications include product tracking, fraud prevention, transportation optimization, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement. The research paper highlights the historical development, benefits, and challenges of blockchain technology, emphasizing the importance of addressing those challenges to unlock its full potential.
