Abstract

Since its inception more than a decade ago, the core technology powering Bitcoin and other modern cryptocurrencies, namely blockchain, has seen promising and diverse application prospects in a variety of domains—including IoT, healthcare, security and smart contracts. This paper presents a comprehensive catalogue of literature on existing blockchain technologies and further projections for future implementations. We begin with an introduction and technical background of the blockchain and then provide an overview of the domains followed by specific applications and projections within each of the domains. We conclude with a section on the security issues and challenges to the adoption of blockchain.
