Blockchain-based software

Applications:
Challenges and Case study
Introduction

• Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed digital ledger


technology that allows data to be stored across a network of
computers in a way that ensures transparency, security, and
immutability. Each "block" in the chain contains a list of
transactions, and these blocks are linked together in
chronological order, forming the "chain.”
Application :
•Bitcoin & Ethereum: The most well-known application of blockchain
technology is in
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These cryptocurrencies
operate on decentralized networks providing secure, peer-to-peer
transactions without relying on intermediaries (like banks).
Medical Records Management: Blockchain can securely store and
share electronic health recordpatient data is accessible, immutable,
and transparent across healthcare
This helps in reducing administrative overhead, increasing privacy,
and ensuring data
accuracy
Challenges:
Scalability issue

• scalability remains a significant challenge for blockchain


application on transaction as volume increases.Many
blockchain networks face limitation in processing speed and
the capability to handle a large number of transaction
simultaneously.
Data privacy
•Blockchains are inherently transparent, meaning that all
transactions are
visible to everyone on the network. While this transparency is
great for security
it can pose privacy issues, especially in applications like
healthcare or finance,
where sensitive information is involved.
High Costs
On some blockchains (e.g., Ethereum), transaction fees can
increase significantly during times of high demand, making it
costly for users to perform transactions or interact with dApps
(decentralized applications).
Attacks

In Proof of Work-based systems, if a single entity controls more


than 50% of the network's mining power, they could potentially
perform attacks, such as double-spending, to disrupt the
blockchain.
Conclusion
The expectations for the future of blockchain technology in present a positive
picture for the industry. You can notice that the emerging trends in
the blockchain space create new opportunities. It is time to move over
questions like ‘is blockchain the future’ when you can think about the
innovative advancements in the blockchain landscape.
