Abstract
With the increasing utilization of Internet in majority areas such as banking and social security, which produces an enormous amount of data, the data integrity of the customers has turned to be a major challenge for the organizations which are dependent on third-party software organizations. This challenge led to evolve the expert’s interest in Blockchain technology which focuses on transaction decentralization with effective data management. Hence, this paper tries to concentrate on facilitating with an effective study of various works related to Blockchain technology. This technology acts as a backbone of the crypto-currency system. The main objective of this review is to provide a complete overview of the current research, challenges and their solutions related to Blockchain technology that mainly focuses on wide range of applications. This review helps the researchers to understand the technology and its advancements in the Blockchain mechanism.
