Currently, the financial transactions between individuals, organizations, and companies are taking place with the help of third-party approval of intermediaries such as banks, financial institutions, standardizing bodies, or credit card providers. These transactions involve multilevel approvals, costs, and inefficient processes in some cases, which also lead to waste of time and resources. To resolve these issues, blockchain technology has appeared as a new financial digital innovative solution. Here, financial transactions are online, open, and transparent. In this chapter, the authors present systematic literature of relevant research on blockchain technology. The objective is to understand the historical evolutions, current ongoing research, base technologies, and applications. The authors have extracted research articles from scientific databases including EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The online blogs, wikis, media articles, YouTube videos, and companies' white papers on blockchain technology are also used for content analysis.
