Harnessing the Blockchain Technology in Unveiling Futuristic Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, blockchain technology has garnered significant attention for its potential to revolutionize traditional systems and processes across various industries. Blockchain, originally developed as the underlying technology for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, has transcended its initial application to emerge as a versatile tool with far-reaching implications. Its core principles of decentralization, immutability, and cryptographic security make it an ideal candidate for addressing the challenges faced by modern society. By leveraging blockchain's distributed ledger technology, organizations can solve some of the long-standing challenges in the field, like managing data in zero-trust cooperative entities.

In this context, exploring the impact of blockchain technology on various aspects of modern society, for example, in healthcare, supply chain management, smart cities, smart industry, cyber security, etc., becomes imperative. By delving into the potential synergies between blockchain and modern-day applications, organizations can unlock new possibilities for achieving the United Nations’s Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This research seeks to elucidate the transformative power of blockchain in reshaping the future of modern social landscapes, offering insights into how this innovative technology can be harnessed to navigate the challenges of an increasingly interconnected digital world.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Applications of blockchain technology in smart cities;
• Applications of blockchain technology in intelligent manufacturing, industry 5.0, and industry 6.0;
• Supply chain management using blockchain technology;
• Blockchain technology and cyber security;
• Using quantum computing in blockchain technology;
• Blockchain technology in the finance sector and cryptocurrency;
• Blockchain technology in the healthcare sector;
• Supporting the Internet of Things using blockchain technology;
• World Wide Web 3 (WWW3).
