Blockchain Use Cases.
What is Blockchain ?
Starting off as an underlying security mechanism for the Bitcoin network, Blockchain technology has swamped the entire information systems development landscape over the last decade to offer better data security, trust and a decentralized approach to managing transactions, which is now proving to be the bedrock of all future applications built on the web. Together with the Internet, it is re-imagining a new way of building applications that directly puts the power in the hands of users, instead of central custodians.
Top Blockchain Technology Domains
A decentralized network is the fundamental architecture of Blockchain which facilitates peer to peer interactions and value based transactions without being controlled by a single central entity. A decentralized network operates on a redundant and consensus driven doctrine.
A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between two or more parties directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralized network and serves as the application business logic for a Blockchain application.
Blockchain infrastructure refers to the underlying technology stack and network architecture that supports the operation and functionality of blockchain networks. It consists of network nodes that are individual computers or servers that participate in the blockchain network by running software clients that validate and propagate transactions, maintain a copy of the blockchain ledger, and contribute to the consensus process.
Blockchain middleware refers to software components or services that sit between the blockchain network and applications or services, providing an abstraction layer and additional functionality to simplify and enhance blockchain integration.
Blockchain security refers to the practices implemented to protect blockchain networks from unauthorized access, manipulation, and attacks. It entails taking measures to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of blockchain-based systems across the key areas of its functioning such as immutability of ledger, consensus measures, smart contracts, and also conducting audits and security testing to ascertain the legitimacy of transactions, and data.

This page is updated every week to enlist emerging use cases of Blockchain realized with the help of innovating platforms, solution components and tools.
Blockchain is a technology that forms the bedrock of data security and data access integrity. Historically, information systems always suffered from the drawback of having to rely on external security layers to control a user's access to data which was stored centrally. Blockchain solved this problem by establishing a new norm for data storage which is governed by a cryptographic linkage between data records, a consensus mechanism to decide who, and when can change the records, and a decentralized structure for storing the records. Initially implemented as part of the Bitcoin in 2018, Blockchain gained a lot of attention with it's improved implementation as part or Ethereum Virtual Machine, via the smart contract.
Blockchain has multiple use cases ranging from decentralized storate, to decentralized application hosting and service delivery.. The Blockchain use case index covers all the prevalent and emerging use cases that are setting the stage for newer innovations enabling a decentralized world. You can check out the domains section to get a glimpse of the various technological domain within Blockchain.
Some of the top Blockchain use cases are in the areas of dApps (Decentralized Apps), DeFi (Decentralized Finance), cryptos and NFT (non Fungible Tokens). More and more applications are being reimagined in a decentralized fashion powered a Blockchain network. Ethereum is the most popular Blockchain network, but Solona, Polkadots, and Avalanche are shaping up to solve the scalability problems of decentralized networks faced by Ethereum. Hyperledger is another popular Blockchain platform for building private Blockchain networks.
