A review of fields of use of blockchain technology in daily life

Blockchain is a distributed system in which all transactions are shared and recorded by the participants in the system (e.g. blockchain network). Blockchain is a form of data storing method. It is a system in which the data intended to be stored is established through structures named as "blocks," with each block related to the next by stamping and / or sealing. Particularly in the last few years, blockchain technology which is only now starting to be researched in Turkey and around the world, has many uses beyond only cryptocurrency. For researchers who are unfamiliar with the system, it will be helpful to begin with, concrete instances in order to better understand what blockchain technology is. Examining actual instances of blockchain technology application is the primary objective of this study. In this context, the study looked at the domains in which blockchain technology is applied through providing specific examples. The study concluded that the following domains have experienced the practical implementation and application of blockchain technology: supply chain, education, health, finance, digital identification, land registry, human resources management, customer recognition-commerce, e-voting, transportation, political participation and digital content industry.
