A survey about industries that blockchain can transform

Blockchain become, because of its security, decentralized architecture and flexibility, one of the most important technologies in our days. Blockchain is a very good alternative for traditional system architectures. Researchers in almost all domains tried to adapt this new technology in their area and develop new solutions. The blockchain community has grown significantly and the proposed solutions become more and more complex. Problems like fraud, data integrity and data manipulation, distributed authority, information privacy and security are solved through blockchain. The technology can be successfully combined with traditional centralized architectures creating in this way hybrid systems with high complexity and security. The propose of the current paper is to make a review over multiple domains of solutions developed using blockchain, to compare their architectures, and to emphasize the initial requirements and constrains and how this technology was applied.
