Abstract

The development of a cryptocurrency cannot occur without the use of a vital piece of technology known as blockchain. It is a distributed ledger that has progressed to the point where they are now even more applicable and beneficial. This is due to the passage of time and the development of many sectors. These days, blockchain technology is being employed in certain ways throughout all the industries. In this study, each and every significant attribute and weakness is discussed and analyzed. We have also conducted a literature analysis on blockchain-related topics and highlighted some of the most current sectors in which blockchain technology has found the greatest utility.
