Abstract

In this paper, a detailed review of the use of blockchain technology has been carried out. The use of blockchain technology in real estate, healthcare, e-voting, and agriculture is discussed in the study. It was observed during the review of various papers that in each of the domain, blockchain technology is used to provide a model which gives data transparency and security to the users. The data security is a major concern in each domain because wrong use of data. It can be harmful but it was analyzed that after the use of blockchain technology in these fields. More transparency and data security can be achieved as it provides decentralized database where all the nodes are shared amongst the members so data discrepancy cannot be done. If a member tries to do so all the other members will also get informed about that. The review of various research paper proves that blockchain technology is far better than centralized database system because in centralized database. Only few people have control and access so data can be manipulated easily and for the same reason, use of blockchain is rapidly increasing.
