Industrial Applications of Blockchain

Blockchain technologies have recently come to the forefront of the scientific and industrial communities. This is due to their practical capabilities in solving many issues in various industrial domains. Issues like securely sharing transactional data, establishing efficient supply chain processes, and enhancing transparency are some examples. Blockchain offers an effective way to tackle these issues using distributed, shared, secure, and permissioned transactional ledgers. The employment of blockchain technologies and the possibility of applying them in different situations enables many industrial applications through increased efficiency and security; enhanced traceability and transparency and reduced costs. In this paper, different industrial application domains where the use of blockchain technologies have been proposed are surveyed.
