Abstract

In this study,
Blockchain technology, which is becoming increasingly popular and is still the
foundation of virtual money applications, has been considered. This technology
can be described as a distributed record management system that does not
require a trusted centre. In our study, we investigated the fundamental
differences between the traditional transaction method and the technologies
that bring about the concept of the blockchain. Then, it is explained how to
make the blocks constituting the blockchain structure and how the transfer
operations are performed. The last part of the study is devoted to software
solutions and information about the application areas planned to be used in the
near future.

Blokzinciri Teknolojisi ve Yakın Gelecekteki Uygulama Alanları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada günümüzde giderek değerlenen popüler
halen sanal para uygulamalarının temelini oluşturan blokzinciri teknolojisi ele
alınmıştır. Blokzinciri teknolojisi güvenilir bir merkez kullanımı
zorunluluğunu gerektirmeyen dağıtık bir kayıt yönetim sistemi olarak
tanımlanabilir. Çalışmamızda geleneksel alışveriş yöntemi ile blokzinciri
yapısı arasındaki temel farklılıklar ve blokzinciri kavramını meydana getiren
teknolojiler incelenmiştir. Ardından blokzinciri yapısını oluşturan blokların
üretilmesi ve transfer işlemlerinin nasıl gerçekleştirildiği açıklanmıştır.
Çalışmanın son bölümü ise yakın gelecekte kullanılması planlanan uygulama
alanları hakkında bilgiler ve yazılım çözümlerine ayrılmıştır.
