Abstract

Blockchain is gaining attention since its development due to its features like immutability, transparency, decentralization. It can also be used as decentralized storage. Blockchain offers a wide range of digital services both in financial and nonfinancial sectors. In this paper, we discuss the basic concepts and terminologies associated with blockchain and discuss the application areas both in financial and non- financial sectors such as Digital voting, Digital identity, Education, etc. and discuss the existing framework in these areas, also the progress and challenges of global acquisition. The main highlight of this paper is COVID-19 and we discussed existing solutions to fight the COVID-19 pandemic by using such technology. This survey paper will be helpful for a data scientist as well as researchers to explore in the area COVID-19.
