BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES: A LIGHT ON FUTURE WORKS

Abstract

Blockchain technology is a data recording system that supports cryptocurrencies which makes it difficult to hack, cheat in or change transactions. This technology has technical features such as distributed systems, decentralization, time-series data and asymmetric encryption. Blockchain technology is a competitive technology that changes the social, commercial and technical fields and will transform the financial and commercial infrastructure of societies in the future. This study aims to identify the advantages of blockchain technology in terms of future ways of doing business, the possible disadvantages of blockchain technology, and the gaps in the literature that need to be addressed in the future.
