Welcome to the website of the International Conference on Blockchain Research and Applications (BCRA 2024).

BCRA 2024 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the advanced applications, technologies, and theories in blockchain research.

Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger technology that enables the secure and transparent recording of transactions across a network of computers. The field of blockchain research focuses on examining the fundamental principles and technical aspects of this technology. This includes studying consensus algorithms, scalability, privacy, security, smart contracts, interoperability, and governance. Through blockchain research, experts aim to gain a deeper understanding of how blockchain systems function, identify any limitations they may have, and propose innovative solutions to overcome challenges. In terms of practical applications, blockchain technology is being implemented across a wide range of industries and sectors. Its decentralized nature and immutability bring significant benefits in terms of enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency in various processes. Industries such as finance, supply chain management, healthcare, government services, Internet of Things (IoT), energy, intellectual property, and social impact are adopting blockchain technology. By leveraging blockchain, these sectors can achieve greater transparency in transactions, reduce fraud, improve data sharing and integrity, enable decentralized and secure services, and promote sustainability.

Blockchain: Research and Applications is an international, peer reviewed journal for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present the latest advances and innovations in blockchain research. The journal publishes theoretical and applied papers in established and emerging areas of blockchain research to shape the future of blockchain technology.
