A systematic review of the research on disruptive technology – Blockchain

In this review, a methodical mapping of Blockchain-based research is performed across the multifaceted realm. The proposed research work is aimed at studying the prevailing research perspectives, obstacles, and upcoming considerations related to Blockchain from a technological point of view to underline the role of this disruptive technology in the current sci-tech ecosystem. For this purpose, the hypothetical fundamentals of countless work published in reputed scientific publications in the past ten years, are integrated into this paper. Following the structured, methodical review and thorough study of the recognized literature, an extensive taxonomy of Blockchain-based research in various domains like security, usability, privacy, smart contracts, throughput, latency, wasted-resources, broadcast protocol, and trustworthiness is being presented, and key presentations, directions, and originating research areas are adopted. Developing on the evaluations, various unexplored research topics are discovered and future prospecting indications that are expected to be of substantial value both for theoreticians and professionals.
