A Mapping Study Research on Blockchain Technology in Education 4.0

Decentralized transactions and transaction management in the form of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency are part of Blockchain Technology. This Blockchain idea was created in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. The attributes of Blockchain contain the importance of providing security, anonymity and integrity of transactions without third-party companies, which makes an exciting area due to Blockchain’s general and decentralized nature. In this study, systematic mapping observations were used to collect all applicable studies on Blockchain generation. This goal is supported by understanding Blockchain research topics, situations that demand development, and future guidance on technicalities in the Blockchain era. The author has successfully researched forty-one major papers from several scientific paper publishers. The results of this study show that more than 80% of Blockchain papers use Bitcoin and the rest check other Blockchain attributes such as security using smart contracts. In this study, the authors specialize in reducing the limitations of using Blockchain from a privacy and security perspective. However, among the solutions presented, there is a lack of concrete evaluations of their effectiveness. This research produces a novelty in the form of suggestions for the use of Blockchain that can be used by leading to Education 4.0.
