Blockchain has been one of the most talked-about technologies in recent times. The Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed database allowing secure and transparent transactions. It has gained attention because of its ability to provide a tamper-proof record-keeping system and its potential to transform industries across the globe.

Blockchain technology is expected to transform the financial industry, allowing for decentralized banking and lending services that anyone with an internet connection can access. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is already gaining traction, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes mainstream. Blockchain technology can help create a more secure and transparent record-keeping system in the healthcare industry. Integrating Blockchain technology can transform supply chain management to create a more efficient and transparent supply chain. By providing real-time tracking and visibility of products, Blockchain can help to reduce the risk of fraud and improve the quality of products. A wide range of applications is covered in this book, such as Decentralized finance (DeFi), Healthcare, Supply chain management, Identity management, and Smart Electricity Grids.

The book is divided into two sections. Section – I explores Blockchain technologies and their applications in various domains, such as Blockchain trends, challenges, applications, cryptocurrencies, digital marketing, healthcare supply chain, and artificial intelligence, and Section – II explores the various aspects of data security using Blockchain technologies, such as Smart Contract, IoT using Blockchain, accounting and auditing, sustainable retail SMEs, and secure and smart application. The book is research and application-oriented, which will provide a common platform to all researchers and practitioners in this domain and covers different verticals of industry and academics, which is an added advantage of this book.

This book will serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the emerging applications of blockchain technology. With its comprehensive coverage of the foundational concepts, use cases, and future possibilities of blockchain technology, this book is an essential guide for understanding the potential of this game-changing technology. We believe that blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we store, transfer, and verify information, and we are excited to explore its possibilities in this book.
