Abstract
Today’s world is all about innovations. At present, any human cannot lead a normal lifestyle without the application of software technologies in their day-to-day activities. In such case, security has become a great threat to maintain sensitive records of people. Blockchain technology provides a solution in this case. A blockchain is indeed a public ledger that is open to all but without any control by a central authority. It is a technology that enables individuals and businesses to work together with trust and accountability. Cryptographic currencies like Bitcoin are one of the best-known blockchain applications. Blockchain technology is considered as the driving factor behind the next fundamental IT revolution. Several blockchain technology implementations are commonly accessible today, each with its particular strength for a particular application domain. This paper gives a brief introduction about various applications of blockchain technology in various domains.
