Blockchain Technology and Its Application Areas in Near Feature

Öz

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

Öz

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.
