difficult sometimes but before we doing a case study for that.
As a training technology analyst, I had to do this research. My goal is recommended for

best emerging technology to base on their requirement. Doing this research, I follow up
many resources. All the researched ones are based on client requirements and I decide to
do this research. Here is the full research I found on that.
Activity 1
1.1 Emerging technologies Introduction

Emerging technologies are cutting-edge innovations that are either already widely
available or are expected to do so soon. They will have a big impact on society, business,
and people's daily lives. These innovations have the potential to upend established markets
and ways of operating since they are frequently at the cutting edge of scientific and
technical research and development. Artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things,
biotechnology, nanotechnology, and renewable energy are a few examples of developing
technologies. Although these technologies are still in their infancy, they could one day
completely alter the way we work and live.
The future of emerging technologies is hard to predict with any degree of accuracy because
they are continually changing and frequently have unpredictable effects. But it's likely that
these technologies will continue to have a big impact on how the world develops.
According to some analysts, new technology will significantly alter many facets of society,
including how we live, work, and interact with one another. The healthcare, transportation,
and energy sectors may also be significantly impacted. Robotics and artificial intelligence,
for instance, may transform transportation and manufacturing, while renewable energy
technology may assist to combat climate change. It is important for society to carefully
16 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
consider the potential impacts of these technologies and to ensure that they are developed
and used in a responsible and ethical manner.
1.1.1 Emerging technologies characteristics

Emerging technologies have several characteristics that set them apart from established
technologies. Here are some of the key characteristics of emerging technologies:
Novelty: Emerging technologies are new and innovative. They often represent a significant
departure from existing technologies, offering new capabilities or solving problems in new
ways.
Rapid Development: Emerging technologies typically undergo rapid development and

evolution, with new versions, features, and capabilities appearing frequently.
Uncertainty: Emerging technologies are often associated with uncertainty, including

uncertainties about their effectiveness, safety, and long-term impact. This can create
challenges for decision-makers who need to evaluate the potential risks and benefits of
adopting emerging technologies.
Disruptiveness: Emerging technologies can disrupt existing markets and business models,
challenging established players and creating opportunities for new entrants.
High-risk/high-reward: Emerging technologies often involve significant risks, including

financial risks and risks to human health and safety. However, they also offer the potential
for high rewards, such as improved performance, efficiency, and quality of life.
Experimental: Emerging technologies are often experimental in nature, with researchers

and innovators testing new approaches and technologies to see what works best. This
experimental approach can lead to breakthroughs and innovations that transform entire
industries.
Complexity: Emerging technologies can be highly complex, involving intricate systems

and technologies that require specialized knowledge and expertise to develop and
implement. This complexity can create challenges for decision-makers who need to
evaluate the feasibility and potential impact of emerging technologies.

1.2 Disruptive Technologies

Disruptive technologies are innovations that come to replace a process, a product, or
technology that is already well-established, giving rise to a new way to operate, be it for
consumers, organizations, or both. Disruptive technologies completely change and replace
solutions because they have better features that allow new possibilities to open up.
The car and the television can be named as two famous disruptive technologies in history.
The car changed completely the way we go from one place to another, while TV changed
the way we entertain ourselves. (SYDLE, 2022)
In now days traditional models are left on the market. The new emerging disruptive
technologies are coming to change the industry. I mentioned few disruptive technologies
still popular right now on industry.
Video Streaming: This is a perfect example of disruptive technologies. Having a video

provider these days is typical if you want to view movies and TV shows. However, it wasn't
like this twenty years ago. In the past, the leaders in video broadcasting were Cable TV
and Blockbuster. The latter lost out on the chance to benefit from the novel disruptive
technology that would ultimately replace it. In right now we can watch anything
everywhere just using video streaming platform. Also, we can use social media video call
features to share our thoughts. This was a huge changing disruptive technology everyone
used right now.
Example: Netflix, Amazon prime, TikTok live, Facebook live
Virtual Reality (VR): Virtual reality, which is typically associated with games and
entertainment, is a technology that has the potential to pioneer a wide number of industries.
A few industries that potentially benefit from this digital upheaval are interior designers,
merchants, and automobiles. Most of the video games are also released for VR. As a gamer
we can go through a real-life experience on it.
Example: PlayStation VR, Meta Verse

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Online Encyclopedias: Old days we used some books, papers to search something. But
nowadays we can search many things just one keyword. An online encyclopedia makes
finding information more-quicker and easier. Its search engines aid in quick and precise
searches. Additionally, it has a capacity that is enormously greater than that of earlier
encyclopedias.
Example: Wikipedia
Digital Currency: A discipline as renowned as economics was changed by

cryptocurrency. The blockchain is just one of the many technologies used in
cryptocurrencies that guarantee its efficiency and dependability.
Example: Bitcoin, XRP
Online Education: E-learning, commonly referred to as online education, peaked during

the COVID-19 epidemic. Millions of students have continued their studies virtually
throughout the world. Most of people used on these platforms to educate itself. After going
through online education system whole education system will be changed a lot.
Example: Zoom, MS Teams
C-Commerce: C-Commerce meaning is a Collaborative commerce. This e-commerce

method facilitates the transaction between customers and sellers so they can conduct
business. This innovative company strategy is expanding and breaking down barriers.
Example: Amazon, Shopify
Also, they are had many disruptive technologies right now. In above I mentioned most of
the popular technologies right now. But other technologies are Augmented reality, 3D
Printing, Cross-platform instant messaging apps, and Digital transport services etc.

1.3 The Hype Cycle

A quick glance at the relative market promotion and perceived importance of computer
advances is provided by hype cycles and priority matrices. They point out overexposed
areas, predict when technologies and trends will mature, and offer practical guidance to
assist businesses decide whether to embrace.
The Hype Cycle is a visual representation of a typical pattern that appears with every major
invention in technology or another field. For clients to evaluate technology maturity and
future potential, Gartner annually develops more than 90 hype cycles across a variety of
technology and application (such as social software and ERP), information and IT services
(cloud computing, big data), and business sectors.
Introduced in 1995, Gartner's Hype Cycle illustrates how innovations often advance from
overexcitement through a time of disillusionment to a final grasp of the innovation's
significance and usefulness in a market or domain. The hype cycle is included some
technologies on it. Looking the hype cycle, we can decide what technology is up trending
right now and what happen each individual technology in to the future.
Figure 1: The Hype Cycle
20 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Looking for a hype cycle we can decide in many of the technology’s future. In below I
mentioned one of the popular technology’s in current world.
Smart Robot: Every business we come across has adopted robotic technology. Based on
hype cycle this was a another most valuable emerging technology. Everything from
factories to stores, hospitals, and our homes. Robotics is a crucial tool for helping
humanity. A smart robot is an artificial intelligence (AI) system that, by definition, is able
to learn from its surroundings and past experiences and expand upon its capabilities in light
of that knowledge. In contrast, utility and human contact are the major areas where
traditional and smart robots diverge.
Cobots, or intelligent robots, work alongside humans to do jobs. Traditional robots are self-
sufficient machines that work without human direction. The worldwide smart robot market
has a value of $8.94 billion in 2021, according to Business Wire. The publication projects
that the market will grow at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2022 to 2027, reaching US$ 24.28
billion. Robots can be divided into various categories. robots used in industry, such as those
in Tesla's plant. (Haiston, 2021)
Figure 2: Tesla Robot

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Smart Robot had many of advantages and disadvantages. Below table is showing what are
they.

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
IoT Platforms: Enterprises are increasingly connecting a broad variety and number of IoT
endpoints to access data from and better manage physical assets that are relevant to their
business. Typical IoT-enabled business objectives include traditional benefits, such as
improved asset optimization, as well as new business opportunities and revenue models,
such as subscribed-to services (versus owned assets). An IoT platform is an on-premises
software suite or a cloud service (IoT platform as a service [PaaS]) that monitors and may
manage and control various types of endpoints, often via applications business units deploy
on the platform. The IoT platform usually provides Web-scale infrastructure capabilities
to support basic and advanced IoT solutions and digital business operations. (Gartner,
2021)
Looking for a hype cycle IoT is the new trending emerging technology. In IoT architecture
had four stages. Data is gathered in the first stage and transformed into meaningful data.
Data is transformed from an analog form to a digital form in the second stage. The Edge
IT system conducts additional data analysis in the third stage.
Data that needs more processing but is not urgently needed will be sent to the data center
or cloud-based services at stage four. Below image is showing the how IoT is worked.
Figure 3: Four Stage of IOT Architecture

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
There are few examples of IoT are smart home systems (The most often used model is
Amazon Echo), Smartwatches that support text and phone calls (Apple watch, Mi Band),
Connected cars (Like Apple car, Tesla) etc.
Advantage and Disadvantages also had in IOT platforms. There are clearly mentioned in

Micro Data Center: Micro data centers are deployments that have all of the crucial
elements present in a regular data center but on a smaller scale. There is enough space to
house your servers, delicate IT equipment, and the rack accessories of your choosing inside
one conventional IT rack that houses all of the components. Micro data centers typically
sustain critical loads of up to 100–150 kilowatts (kW). Uninterruptible power supply
(UPS), Rack power distribution unit (rPDU), Rack cooling unit, climate controls with
integrated heat rejection, and remote monitoring sensors and software are typically
included in the rack's components.
A subset of the larger family of pre-built data center systems is the micro data center. Due
to the requirement for IT managers to swiftly and efficiently deploy additional capacity
close to end users, these systems are growing in popularity. Prefabricated data centers of
other prominent varieties include:
Mini data center: Mini data centers are scaled-down, miniature replicas of their much
bigger data center counterparts, just like micro data centers. Edge computing uses
prefabricated, edge-specific mini data centers.
Micro module data center: Micro-modular data centers, which provide independent, self-
contained infrastructure, are very similar to micro data centers. IT cabinets are confined or
crammed into their own technical area. These systems frequently consist of many deployed
and modularly connected pieces.
Prefabricated value data center: Larger, standalone installations, prefabricated modular

data centers are frequently used outside of main buildings or in outlying areas. To fulfill
demand, capacity units can be added in a modular fashion.

These Micro data centers also had advantages and disadvantages. Below I mentioned what
are the advantages and disadvantages in Micro data centers.

Cryptocurrency: A digital currency, or cryptocurrency, is an alternative payment method

developed utilizing encryption methods. By utilizing encryption technology,
cryptocurrencies can act as both a medium of exchange and a virtual accounting system.
You need a cryptocurrency wallet in order to use cryptocurrencies. These wallets can be
software that is downloaded to your PC, mobile device, or the cloud. Your encryption keys,
which verify your identity and connect to your cryptocurrency, are kept in the wallets.
(York, 2022)

Every cryptocurrency's digital architecture (code) is unique, so are the ways in which they
operate. Let's use the "mined" cryptocurrency bitcoin as an example.
The way cryptocurrency mining operates in the real world is as follows: A sophisticated
computer processor generates an amazing amount of noise and heat and runs on electricity.
That chip is competing to solve a mathematical conundrum in the digital realm. The first
computer to figure out the riddle wins some freshly created bitcoin. This idea was included

2009.
Go through the hype cycle it’s a now day trend. Every one used cryptocurrency to trade
and buy goods. This cryptocurrency must need to wallet. Crypto wallets are doing the all
crypto savings and exchanges. Without a crypto wallet we can’t buy or save our cryptos.
The famous crypto exchanges are Binance, Coinbase, Crypto.com and Gemini.
Also, you can used hardware wallets war save your crypto. Hardware wallets are expensive
in the market. But security wise hardware wallet is the best option to the save your cryptos.
Software wallets are free for everyone but security wise they had some risk. Below image

1.5 Emerging Technologies in Software Engineering Field
Though making future predictions is notoriously difficult, there are certain new disciplines
that appear to be promising for software engineering. This is as good a moment as any to
jump on the bandwagon if you are thinking about a career in this already rapidly expanding
and intriguing area.
Now days Software Engineering field used most of Emerging Technologies. Below I
mentioned what emerging technologies are uptrend on software field.
Cloud Native Software: Building, delivering, and administering contemporary

applications in cloud computing settings is known as "cloud native" software development.
Modern businesses want to create apps that are extremely scalable, adaptable, and resilient
so they can quickly upgrade them to meet client expectations. They accomplish this by
utilizing cutting-edge tools and methods that naturally enable application development on
cloud infrastructure. These quick and frequent application modifications are supported by
cloud-native technologies without affecting service delivery, giving adopters a cutting-
edge competitive advantage. (AWS, 2022)
Most of the software developers used to cloud native technologies. Implementing on this
they used cloud native stacks. Cloud native stack used for develop cloud native
programmes. This stack is handled build cloud software, manage and run. There are had 6
layers on cloud native stack.
31 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Infrastructure layer: The cloud-native stack is built on an infrastructure layer. Operating

systems, storage, networks, and other computing resources are all part of it and are handled
by external cloud service providers.
Provisioning layer: The cloud services that assign resources and set up the cloud
environment make up the provisioning layer.
Runtime layer: Cloud-native technologies are made available by the runtime layer for the
use of containers. This consists of networking ability, cloud data storage, and a container
runtime like contained.
Orchestration and management layer: The integration of the many cloud components
into a cohesive whole is the responsibility of orchestration and management. It functions
in a manner akin to an operating system in conventional computers. For the deployment,
administration, and scaling of cloud applications across several computers, developers use
orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
application development and definition layer: The software technologies in this tier of
the cloud-native stack are used to create cloud-native apps. To construct cloud apps, for
instance, developers use cloud technologies including communications, databases,
container images, and continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) tools.
Tools for observability and analysis: Tools for observability and analysis track, assess,
and enhance cloud application system health. To make sure there is no degradation in the
quality of the app's service, developers employ tools to track metrics like CPU
consumption, memory usage, and latency.
Using this cloud native software architectures developer had many advantages and
disadvantages. Below table it’s showing those things.

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
service or add new features using

microservice architectures.
The great examples for cloud native software architectures are Aws, Azure, Google cloud
platforms etc.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning: Although the terms artificial intelligence
and machine learning are frequently used synonymously, machine learning is actually a
subset of AI. Although AI may seem like science fiction to some, it is one of the trends in
software development that is expanding the fastest. Additionally, applications for AI and
machine learning are no longer limited to HiTech. Modern software has tapped into the
enormous computational and predictive capabilities of Machine Learning and AI,
particularly in the FinTech sector.
In development process now, most software engineers used AI. If you have a problem
about code or something AI helps to you fix that. There are many frameworks for useful to
develop AI. Below I mentioned some AI frameworks to help software engineering.
Scikit Learn: This is the one of most well-known ML libraries. It underpins many
administered and unsupervised learning calculations. Precedents incorporate direct and
calculated relapses, choice trees, bunching, k-implies, etc. (Sayantini, 2022)
Ensorflow: This AI framework is the mostly useful for voice picture recognizing
applications. Google is used this framework to develop their most applications.
The exciting part about Tensorflow is that we can set up and maintain running on either
your CPU or GPU when you create a program in Python. Therefore, to continue using
GPUs, you do not need to compose at the C++ or CUDA level.
PyTorch: This is a Facebook-developed AI system. Its source is available on GitHub and

has more than 22k ratings as of this writing. Since 2017, it has gained a lot of momentum
and is currently experiencing relentless growth. (Sayantini, 2022)
34 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Google ML Kit: Google's machine learning beta SDK for mobile developers, known as
Google ML Kit, aims to make it possible for developers to create customized features for
Android and iOS phones. This is operated by App-based APIs. These include functions
like picture labeling, face and text recognition, barcode scanning, and more.
On software engineers used lots of AI Frameworks such as Open NN, H20, MxNet, Keras
for develop machine learning things.
On this also had advantages and disadvantages. Below table is showing on those things.

wise to not hiring employees.
The great examples for AI develop software are Content DNA platforms, JuPyter
notebook, Google cloud AI platforms and Azure machine learning studio etc.
Microservices: Microservices are one of the most exciting technologies in software

development to watch. A distinctive way to organize an application so that each feature
and function is a separate component is through the use of microservices. Developers can
scale particular features independently of one another using this structure. Additionally,
even if one component fails, the rest of the application can still run smoothly.
Microservices improve software management and maintenance in addition to performance.

Additionally, developers can make portions of an application available to users while they
work to improve the software's other features. Microservices improve communication
between an application's components and the efficiency of development and deployment.
Most of them are used JAVA to develop those tools. There are so many tools developed
by using micro services.
Docker: This is a program's code and dependencies are packaged together in a common
format known as a "Docker container," which makes it possible for the application to
execute swiftly and consistently across a variety of computer environments. A Docker
container is a well-known, compact, standalone executable file that contains all the
necessary libraries, system tools, code, and runtime to run an application. Developers may
swiftly create, test, and deploy containerized applications using the Docker software
platform.
36 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Kubernetes: Kubernetes (also spelled “K8s”) is an open-source software platform used to

manage containers. Using automation, it takes care of the manual engineering effort in
deploying container-based applications at scale.
Kubernetes has awareness of both applications and infrastructure requirements, reducing

operational complexity and making it location-independent. (CISCO, 2020)
Apache Kafka: Numerous businesses use the well-known open-source Apache Kafka
distributed event streaming platform for high-performance data pipelines, streaming
analytics, data integration, and streaming data for mission-critical applications. In 2011,
Apache Kafka was developed by LinkedIn and given to the Apache Foundation. It is now
the go-to open source technology for large-scale data streaming.
This one is made up of servers and clients that communicate with one another using the
fast TCP network protocol. It may be set up both locally and in cloud environments on bare
metal hardware, virtual machines, and containers.
RabbitMQ: The first of its kind program, RabbitMQ, allows asynchronous

communication to take place between two systems with various throughputs. It has long
been difficult for various systems to communicate with one another. Different protocols
specify how communication is transported.
Examples include SMTP, FTP, HTTP, and others. TCP/UDP is the foundation of these
communication technologies. They only deal with data formatting and determining who
should receive a message. When we require a middleman to accept the job while receiving
the message. In this case, RabbitMQ is utilized.

2.1 Cryptocurrency Introduction

Cryptography is used to safeguard and authenticate transactions, as well as to regulate the
generation of new units, in cryptocurrencies, which are digital or virtual assets intended to
function as a means of exchange. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized and run on the
distributed ledger technology known as blockchain, which is a network of computers that
keeps track of all transactions. Although Bitcoin was the first and most well-known
cryptocurrency, there are now thousands of other cryptocurrencies in use.
Cryptocurrencies, which are not backed or issued by governments like traditional money,
have grown in popularity as alternative investments and as a method of paying for goods
and services.
2.1.1 History
The first attempts to establish a decentralized digital money using encryption were made
in the late 1990s, which is when cryptocurrency first emerged. However, the idea of
cryptocurrencies didn't start to acquire mainstream acceptance until the launch of Bitcoin
in 2009.
Using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto, an unidentified person or group of people invented
Bitcoin. Nakamoto described a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that would do away
with the need for middlemen like banks in a white paper that was published in 2008. The
Bitcoin network became operational in January 2009 after the initial Bitcoin client was
made available and the "genesis block" was mined.
The concept of cryptocurrencies gained popularity during the following few years, and an
increasing number of programmers and business owners started investigating the potential
of blockchain technology. This sparked the development of several additional
cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin, among others.
38 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
The value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rose in 2017, which resulted in a
substantial influx of new investors and an uptick in media coverage. However, this trend
was short-lived because prices fell later that year and have since seen high volatility. In
spite of this, many experts think that the technology underlying cryptocurrencies has the
potential to transform the financial sector and displace established financial intermediaries
because it has continued to develop and mature.
Many various cryptocurrencies are currently in use, and the industry as a whole is worth
billions of dollars. Cryptocurrency is a subject of strong curiosity and speculative activity
despite the difficulties and controversies that have emerged, and its influence on the
financial industry is only anticipated to increase in the years to ahead.
2.1.2 Distributed Ledger
A distributed ledger is a type of database that is shared, replicated, and synchronized among
the members of a decentralized network. The distributed ledger records the transactions,
such as the exchange of assets or data, among the participants in the network.
Participants in the network govern and agree by consensus on the updates to the records in
the ledger. No central authority or third-party mediator, such as a financial institution or
clearinghouse, is involved. Every record in the distributed ledger has a timestamp and
unique cryptographic signature, thus making the ledger an auditable, immutable history of
all transactions in the network. (Sloane Brakeville, 2019)
39 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Figure 5: Distributed Ledger
In DLT history, the Roman Empire was home to a financial system that let people conduct
transactions across other empire-affiliated regions. Paper checks were used to further
explore distributed ledger in the Roman Empire, which improved updating and recording
of transactions. But the Byzantine Generals Problem, a conundrum, prevented the
widespread application of DLT (BGP).
Outside of the enemy's area are several generals strategically positioned with their different
forces. To reach a consensus, messengers and generals must communicate. But what if one
of the generals is dishonest and plots to stop the others from achieving their objective?
Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak, and Marshall Pease discussed the conundrum in their
1982 study.
There are a Few types of Distributed Ledgers in Industry. They are also described as a
Distributed Ledgers category. Those are mentioned in below.
Public permission: Permits the deployment or removal of apps without the need for
notification, identity disclosure, or compliance with any application requirements. Nodes
that comprise the network and power its running apps must be asked to join. (Dickson,
2022)
40 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Privet permission: This kind of network does not have decentralization. Apps must be
asked to join the network, and network nodes that operate such applications must also meet
standards or present identification documentation. On this Any party may be removed at
any moment and without notice.
Public non-permission: The most decentralized kind of network is this one. Applications
can be deployed in production or deleted without needing to give notice, declare their
identity, or satisfy any application criteria requirements. The network's nodes can also join
and participate freely and anonymously, typically in exchange for the network's native
cryptocurrency.
Privet non-permission: demands that programs that are already in use be given permission
to join the network and that their removal from it can happen at any moment without prior
notice. The nodes that make up the network and carry out the applications can join and
participate freely and anonymously, typically in return for the native cryptocurrency of the
network.
2.1.3 Different Type of Distributed Ledger Technologies

Now in modern world Distributed Ledger technologies used for various industries. Below
I explain what are that industries and different types of Distributed Ledgers.
Blockchain: It's one of the most well-liked DLTs available. A form of DLT known as the
blockchain stores transaction records as a chain of blocks in a ledger. The blocks are
composed of digital data. They typically consist of three different kinds of elements.
Consider a blockchain transaction as an illustration. Say someone transacted something.
The sender's time, date, and amount sent are all included in the transaction block. Along
with the block, the sender's details will be disclosed. However, the system will use your
particular "digital signature" rather than your real name to preserve your anonymity.
41 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Figure 6: Blockchain works for Bitcoin
Hashgraph: This is allowing for the storing of many transactions with the same timestamp
on the ledger. All transactions are kept in a parallel framework. In this scenario, "Event" is
used to refer to every item in the ledger. Without blockchain, no node on the network will
have the ability to alter the data or transactions in this distributed ledger. It means that no
one can alter, delay, or take control of the transaction's workflow on the DLT system.
DAG (Direct Acyclic Graph): Although not a blockchain, the Directed Acyclic Graph is
a bold new member of the distributed ledger family. DAG was developed for alternative
for blockchain DL. Thus, this distributed ledger without a blockchain offers all the
advantages of a blockchain while also enhancing them. Although it's an alternative, the
structure of this ledger is very different. One of the key benefits of using the DAG
distributed ledger is the availability of fee-free Nano-transactions. Because the network
becomes more scalable as it expands.
Holochain: This is pleased to demonstrate the most recent advancements in digital ledger
technology. The platform's transition from a data-centric to an agent-centric strategy is the
most obvious difference. Because Holochain-DLT does not employ a global consensus
42 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
system, its scalability is almost infinite. Instead of only decentralizing network transactions
like Blockchain, it wants to also decentralize how nodes communicate with one another.
The network's nodes each run their own chains, enabling them to function independently
while still being a part of a bigger network that consists of thousands of other nodes.
And also, there had another type of DL calling as Tempo. Tempo is a new DLT variant.
Tempo's main advantage is that it can be used for both public and private modules without
any modifications.
2.1.4 Distributed Ledger Technology Pros and Cons
Distributed Ledgers are built with a new cryptocurrency thing. As a blockchain this method
is mostly used in crypto technology. Below I mentioned the What are the Advantage and
Disadvantage using distributed ledger.

2.2 Blockchain Disruptive quality

Blockchain is an emerging and potentially disruptive technology that business scholars
have recently begun investigating. The first and most famous blockchain application is
Bitcoin. Its anonymous inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto released it in 2009 during the global
financial crisis. Their goal was to create a new kind of digital currency that was
decentralized and removed the control of governments, banks, and other traditional
financial institutions (sciencedirect.com, 2020)
This replace technologies are identified as a many-ways. That technologies are modified
in day by day. Anyone can involve those stuffs and used for many things. Below I
mentioned those technologies proving blockchain disruptive quality.
NFT: Using a blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are assets that have been tokenized.
They receive particular identifying numbers and metadata that set them apart from other
tokens. Depending on how much the market and their owners are willing to pay for them,
NFTs can be traded and converted into fiat currency, cryptocurrencies, or other NFTs. To
create a token for an image of a banana, for instance, you may use an exchange. The NFT
may be worth millions to some people but nothing to others.
44 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Say something about NFT history, NFT’s developed before they were widely used in
society. Quantum, created and tokenized by Kevin McKoy in 2014 on one blockchain
(Namecoin), was reportedly the first NFT sold. It was coined and sold on Ethereum in
2021.
NFT creating process calling as a Minting. On a blockchain, the NFT's data is kept track
of. On a broad level, the minting procedure comprises the creation of a new block,
validation of NFT data by a validator, and closing of the block. Smart contracts that handle
ownership and transferability of the NFT are frequently incorporated during this minting
process.
When a token is created, it is given a special identification number that is connected to a

single blockchain address. Every token has an owner, and the ownership details are made
available to the public. Even if 5,000 NFTs of the exact same thing are produced, each one
may be identified and separated from the others thanks to its special identifier.
Figure 7: NFT Minting Process
The Relationship of Blockchain and Fungibility as a financial standpoint,

cryptocurrencies are typically fungible, which means they may be traded or exchanged one
for the other. Like every dollar bill in US currency has an inherent exchange value of $1,
45 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
one bitcoin is always equivalent to another bitcoin on a particular exchange. Because of

their fungibility, cryptocurrencies can be used as safe transactional mediums in the digital
economy.
Because each token is distinct and unreplaceable, NFTs change the crypto paradigm and
make it impossible for two non-fungible tokens to be "equivalent." Due to the fact that each
token has a distinct, non-transferable identity that allows it to be distinguished from other
tokens, they are digital representations of assets and have been compared to digital
passports. They are also extendable, which allows you to join two NFTs to produce a third,
distinct NFT.
NFT Examples
Crypto kitties are the most well-known image of NFTs. Crypto kitties are digital images of
cats with distinctive identifications that were introduced in November 2017 and are stored
on the blockchain of Ethereum. Each cat is special and costs differently. They "reproduce"
Figure 8: Cryptokitty NFT Market
among one another, producing new offspring with different qualities and values from their
"parents." Fans of crypto-kitties built a following and paid $20 million worth of ether to
buy, feed, and care for them. Even more than $100,000 was invested in the project by some
fans.
46 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
The bizarre example of NFT is rock NFT. Clip art of a rock just sold for 400 ether, or about
$1.3 million. The transaction marks the latest sale of EtherRock, a brand of crypto
collectible that’s been around since 2017 making it one of the oldest non-fungible tokens
(NFTs) on the block. (CNBC, 2021)
Figure 9: Rock NFT Twitter
NFT Pros and Cons
Every blockchain stuffs not had a full of advantages. It’s had a 50% of advantages and
disadvantages. These NFT stuffs also had these. Below table I mentioned what is the
advantages and disadvantages of using NFT.
Advantage Disadvantages

reason why NFT is not generate revenues.
NFT is the emerging technology is based on block chain. In 2021 it’s become a huge
profitable asset on the cryptocurrency market. But in years later that market its going to
low. Day by day its going to low. This is the emergency technology common thing and
how NFTs future are works.
Crypto Mining: Blockchain networks use mining to create and validate new blocks of
transactions and secure the network. In the process, the so-called miners use significant
amounts of computational resources to create new units of cryptocurrencies, increasing
their existing circulating supply.
48 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Bitcoin, Litecoin (LTC), and many other blockchain networks use the Proof of Work
(PoW) consensus algorithm for cryptocurrency mining. PoW determines how a blockchain
network reaches consensus across all the distributed participants without third-party
intermediaries. In addition, it solves the double-spend problem, preventing the network
participants from using the same funds more than once. (Binance, 2022)
The History of Crypto mining is going to 2009. The first mining was carried out using
CPUs when Bitcoin originally launched in 2009. Since there were only CPU miners
(software) available at the time, Satoshi's concept of "one CPU - one vote" was quite
practical.
Official Bitcoin miners were the first miners. It is available here. It should be noted that
the first and authorized CPU-based Bitcoin miner is Bitcoin Core. Right now, mining using
Bitcoin Core is essentially worthless. The first ASIC projects began to take shape in 2012.
Soon after, ASIC miners took control of the Bitcoin blockchain, rendering GPU mining
inefficient and useless.
Crypto mining process is happening on different ways. Mostly miners used GPU power
to mining process. Below I mentioned on different ways on crypto mining.
Individual mining process: Anyone can connect to the Internet and buy specialized
mining devices. In the early 2010s, this was more doable than it is now. However, new
currencies are constantly being created, and if they use the proof-of-work (PoW) approach
rather than the proof-of-stake (PoS) method, then mining may just require a standard
computer or a computer with a powerful GPU.
Example: GPU Mining
Mining Pools: In order to get a ton of mining equipment, organizations pool their
resources. Anyone can join the network by joining one of the public mining pools.
Example: Slush Pool, Pooling, viaBTC
Cloud mining: A monthly charge can be used to rent time on a cloud mining service. If
someone pay for it they can used their cloud for mining. The benefits on this cloud mining
49 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
is miner does not need to provide

machine power or electricity manually. All the resources are going
through a cloud base and anyone can use that method to mining.
Example: Pionex, IQ cloud mine, ECOS
Figure 10: Crypto (Bitcoin) Mining Process
Crypto Mining pross and cons

process.
2.3 Modern Development of Blockchain

Blockchain is the latest technology combine with margining technologies. Recently, it will
connect all the other technologies. This structure-based technology is changed year by year.
Below the modern development technologies based on blockchain.
Supply chain Management: Supply chain management (SCM) is the process of managing
the complete production process, from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of
the finished good or service to the customer. On the other hand, current SCM systems are
handled by software, from the production of products and services, warehousing, inventory
management, order fulfillment, information tracking, and product/service delivery to after-
sales services.
The digital supply network, which combines data and information from multiple sources
to deliver goods and services along the value chain, is incorporating modern technology
like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and blockchain. (COSTANTINE, 2022)
Compared to Blockchain and other financial blockchain applications, which might be

public, supply chain networks based on blockchain may require a closed, private,
51 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
permissioned blockchain with a limited actor pool. A more diverse group of relationships
might still be possible, though.
Four major actors’ registrars, standard organizations, certifiers, and actors play roles in
supply networks built on blockchains:
Registrars: This people provide network actors with unique identities.
Standard organizations: These groups create technical specifications for blockchains and
standards programs like Fairtrade for supply chains that are environmentally sustainable.
Certifiers: This authorize people to participate in supply chain networks.
Actors: To maintain the credibility of the system, participants or actors including

producers, sellers, and purchasers must be certified by a recognized auditor or certifier.
The value chain's overall transparency is improved since the parties involved must satisfy
a smart contract requirement before a product is transferred (or sold) to another actor to
confirm the exchange of products or services, and the blockchain ledger is updated with
transaction information once everyone has satisfied with their obligations.
Furthermore, blockchain technology publicly specifies the product dimensions for nature,
amount, quality, location, and ownership. Customers can now see the continuous chain of
custody and transactions from the initial purchase to the final sale, doing away with the
need for a trustworthy central organization to manage and maintain digital supply chains.
Enhance traceability of Supply chain is the One of the key advantages of blockchain-
driven supply chain innovations is traceability. Transactions take place in real-time because
blockchain is made up of decentralized, open-source ledgers that store data that is
reproducible by users.
52 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
As a result, the blockchain may be used to create a supply chain that is smarter and more
secure since it enables the tracking of products through a thorough audit trail with nearly
simultaneous visibility.
There are few benefits of blockchain traceability provides. Below table is mentioned what
key members had these benefits.
Benefits
Consumer Inside of supply chain its help to consumer decision making.
Retailer Provide authenticity of our products
Wholesaler Can manage stocks with real data
Logistic Can find automated real time logistic tracking updates
Regulator Can easily control the quality of the supply chain.
Manufacturer Manufacture can measure and reduce the environmental impacts.
Supplier Ethical resource ensured
The future of supply chain is new technology we can faced on future. Supply chain
management use cases for blockchain technology have the ability to address issues with
conventional supply networks, such as the need to do away with onerous paperwork.
Moreover, organizations' digitalization of physical assets and a decentralized,
unchangeable record of all transactions can make it feasible to track products from the
manufacturing facility to the delivery destination, providing a more transparent and visible
supply chain.
Cloud Integration Single Sign Out Concept: Single sign-on (SSO) is a session and user
authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials for example, a
username and password to access multiple applications. SSO can be used by enterprises,
small and midsize organizations, and individuals to ease the management of multiple
credentials. (Teravainen, 2022)
53 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Cloud single sign on (SSO) makes it simple for users to access cloud applications by
allowing them to log into all of their cloud applications using a single identity a single set
of login and password credentials. Cloud SSO solutions save IT management costs and
password fatigue by keeping a single identity for all cloud apps.
This was decentralization process. Having decentralization process it can be implemented

blockchain technology on it. If authorized one have a correct login password they can enter
the network without any of limitation. This process is simply display on below image.
Figure 11: SSO Process
We can used software to implemented SSO concept. There is few famous software had to
support Cloud SSO. They are mentioned in below.
Okta Single Sign On: A fully functional single sign-on solution is available from Okta. It
is completely customizable and integrates with all of the user's web and mobile
applications. Users may easily utilize one account across mobile and desktop because to
its device compatibility. In addition, Okta offers self-service password reset, allowing users
to gain access to accounts right away and sparing administrators from having to deal with
time-consuming support tickets for password reset. Adaptive authentication, which secures
access for all users with context-based two factor authentication, is also a feature of Okta
SSO.
OneLogin Secure: By using the OneLogin platform to validate identity across all of your
accounts, single sign-on with OneLogin enables users to securely connect to numerous
54 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
applications with only one username and password. Users of OneLogin can access a single
sign-on portal that lists all of their corporate and personal accounts and allows them to log
in using their OneLogin credentials. To make sure that only authorized users have access
to the correct data, administrators can install multi-factor authentication across all of a
user's corporate accounts.
RSA Secure ID: Access management and multi-factor authentication are offered by RSA.
Organizations may consistently and centrally enforce dynamic risk-driven access controls
thanks to RSA SecurID access' main feature. Single Sign-On and adaptive multi-factor
authentication are used to deliver this. It enables customers to manage all of their accounts
through a single web-based interface, increasing productivity and simplifying user access.
Microsoft Azure Active Directory: IT administrators utilize Active Directory to automate

the provisioning of users onto cloud applications, which helps save admins' time and makes
life easier for users by allowing them to log into various applications with a single Office
365 account. With Azure AD, administrators may impose multi-factor authentication and
safeguard user identities.
There are had some advantage and disadvantage to using SSO. Below table is revealed on
those things in side by side.
Advantages Disadvantage

application out of the SSO.
2.4 Blockchain Algorithms
Blockchain is quite a complicated concept in technology, especially with its various

advantages dictating its popularity. It offers the assurance of a highly secure, distributed,
and transparent exchange of information or money between two parties. However, many
people have doubts regarding the ways in which blockchain ensures security for all
participants.
This is where you need to look at algorithms used for blockchain security. Blockchain
depends on cryptography and consensus mechanisms along with other algorithms for
establishing strong security. (Geroni, 2021)
Below I mentioned which Blockchain algorithms are using on protect the security.
Cryptography Algorithms: Blockchain is a continuously expanding database of records,

and new blocks are continuously added to the list. It will be challenging to guarantee that
all the data on the blockchain is secure from any unwanted threats as the network expands.
One of the essential conditions for the blockchain is cryptography.
56 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
It provides a framework for customizing protocols and approaches to prevent third parties
from accessing and obtaining data included in private messages during a communication
session. The goal of a cryptography algorithm is to make it impossible for a third party to
eavesdrop on confidential communications sent over a blockchain network.
Figure 12: Cryptography Algorithm
In above picture the inside of the file showing the real text. Using algorithm, it will convert
into the encrypted file. If someone want to see the original file we must need to the original
encryption key to unlock the original file. This was the Cryptography algorithms example
in real world used. Also, Digital Signatures and Hashing methods using Cryptography
algorithms to secure their blockchain network.
P2P Network Protocol: Peer-to-peer network algorithms are decent alternatives for big
businesses. Massive volumes of user or personal data are stored by centralized, single
devices in large organizations.
As a result, it shows clearly a single point of failure in the case of any security threat, poor
management, or data loss. Blockchain effectively addresses the single point of failure issue,
greatly enhancing security. The blockchain's structure gives nodes the authority to verify
transactions' legitimacy without the use of a middleman. BitTorrent is the great example to
P2P network and below picture is showing how P2P is worked.
57 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Figure 13: P2P Protocol Example - BitTorrent
Considering about picture if some one downloads the file using torrents it’s connect to the
other people who are download the same file. That’s are calling as a seed. Maximize the
seeds is better to get the good download speed.
All the torrent clients are identified as a P2P Network protocol and BitTorrent is the best
example to help to connect our pc to P2P Protocol.
Zero Knowledge Proof: Zero-Knowledge Proofs are a famous example of a blockchain

algorithm used for security on blockchain networks (ZKPs). Zero-knowledge proof enables
one party to reassure another party of the veracity of information and truly acts as a
consensus decision-making process. The 'prover' of ZKP algorithms doesn't have to reveal
58 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
any information, which is a key factor in their efficiency.ZKP provides enhanced security
by utilizing cryptographic methods to the fullest extent possible to ensure that the prover
is not required to reveal information about the transaction. On the other hand, the other
party may be aware of the veracity of the information the prover possesses. Hence, ZKP
algorithms can protect blockchain's decentralized character while preventing any
transaction-related disclosures.
Figure 14: Zero Knowledge Proof Example
The advantage and disadvantages are zero knowledge proofs are also had. These are the
few of that.
Pros Cons
Simple Intensive

Secure Permanence
The information is never transferred If the originator forgets the
between parties, eliminating the potential information, the data could be lost forever.
for theft or loss.
Consensus Algorithm: Blockchain distributes power across network users. Before a

transaction can be included in a block, the majority of network users must agree on it. In
this situation, consensus algorithms provide the capability of achieving consensus on a
certain data value across distributed systems and processes.
The most frequently chosen algorithms for blockchain security are consensus algorithms.
They assist various blockchain network users in reaching agreement or consensus over the
current data state in the ledger. In distributed computer systems, consensus techniques are
also useful for determining whether peers may be trusted.
Blockchain networks depend on consensus algorithms because they support the security
and integrity of distributed computing systems.
2.5 Blockchain Industry
The potential benefits of blockchain are vast. Furthermore, there are many diverse use cases
for blockchain technology, including supply chain, healthcare, government, insurance,
banking, real estate, and many more.
Although blockchain was once solely thought to be useful in the banking sector, it has
begun to disrupt a variety of other businesses as well. We currently have a large number of
solutions that are either in the enterprise or are currently in the pilot stage.
Below I mentioned which industry and company using blockchain technology right now.
60 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
2.5.1 Health Care

The new technology and the healthcare industry have a lot more in common than most
organizations think. It should come as no surprise that the global blockchain market for
healthcare could reach $5.61 billion by 2025. Using blockchain technology could help
tackle major problems in the healthcare business, costing us hundreds of billions of dollars
annually.
According to a BIS Research analysis, the healthcare industry might save up to $100 billion
annually by 2025, thanks to blockchain technology. Reduced costs for data breach-related
expenses, IT costs, operations costs, support function and staff costs, counterfeit-related
frauds, and insurance frauds are responsible for these savings.
In real world these blockchain technologies are running in to below health companies.
Change health care: One of the major corporations using blockchain technology is
Change Healthcare. Indeed, they are working on the Intelligent Healthcare NetworkTM,
which is powered by Hyperledger Fabric. In any case, they can manage patient claims and
track their status in real-time thanks to the platform. As a result, the system can readily
audit, foster, and increase user trust.
FDA: The FDA is also developing blockchain-based healthcare solutions. In order to

safeguard healthcare data, they are now using Hyperledger to power a platform. they can
protect electronic medical records, genomic data, and clinical trials with this platform
(EMR).
Also, Pfizer and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention companies used blockchain
technology to their daily works.
2.5.2 Insurance
The insurance ecosystem is growing rapidly, yet with this expansion come new issues.
Blockchain can be a great answer for the insurance industry, helping with fraud detection,
61 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
reducing the amount of risk associated with underwriting, or improving cyber insurance
plans.
By 2023, the global insurance blockchain market could reach $1.39 billion. By promoting
information sharing, automating procedures, and lowering expenses, blockchain
technology can help reinsurers save up to $10 billion while lowering risk and costs. It
makes sense that 65% of insurance executives thought that DLT adoption was necessary
for their company to stay competitive.
In real world insurance companies apply blockchain to inside of their environment. Below
I mentioned the one of the top companies who applied blockchains.
AIA: Another significant business utilizing blockchain for insurance is AIA Group. In
reality, the company started for bancassurance solutions with the other partnered banks.
This platform will utilize the potential of blockchain and keep sharing supporting
documents and policy data in real-time in a secure communication channel.
AIG Company: AIG, a company that uses blockchain technology, is one of the publicly
traded companies. They currently collaborate with International Business Machines
Corporation to create a smart insurance platform. They can finally address all the intricate
issues with foreign insurance thanks to the platform.
MetLife: One more of the large companies utilizing blockchain based is MetLife. Actually,
LumenLab is MetLife’s Singapore based incubator company, and they are collaborating
with NTUC Income and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) for creating Lifechain.
Also, there are other finance companies like AIG, Aegon and Prudential Finance used
blockchain technology to increase their productivity.
2.5.3 Supply Chain
Supply chain management is quite complex and involves a lot of data. It's mostly because
paper-based record-keeping is still widely used, notably in the marine industry, which
62 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
makes up a sizable portion of the global supply chain. There are still significant digital
transformation efforts needed for the supply chain management sector.
The COVID-19 pandemic's recent supply chain interruptions have cost businesses in the
sector a lot of money. But, at the same time, it has presented itself as a great potential as
well, as underlined by a number of worldwide corporations
Few of worldwide companies uses blockchain technology to their companies.
Unilever: The list of businesses using blockchain in the supply chain also includes
Unilever. Actually, Unilever is managing its tea sector with technology at the moment.
They will monitor all of their supply chain transactions with the aid of technology.
Additionally, they can monitor the suppliers to ensure quality at every stage of the process.
Walmart: Walmart has long been interested in blockchain technology. In reality, the
business is supporting their supply chain process with IBM's Hyperledger Fabric platform.
Additionally, they intend to follow the provenance of their items all the way back to the
farmers and encourage buyers to do the same before making a purchase.
De Beers: Another business using blockchain in the supply chain is DE Beers. They
developed the blockchain platform Tracer to aid in the regulation of their supply chain
management system. More so, on this platform, you can track any size of diamonds from
the mining site to the retail store. In fact, it's a fantastic technique to demonstrate the
authenticity of DeBeers' diamonds.
2.5.4 Finance and Bank

Blockchain offers several advantages in terms of transparency, security, and better record-
keeping in the financial and banking sector. It makes it the ideal option for banking needs
like fraud protection, client onboarding, and anti-money laundering. The obvious use is
monitoring, as blockchain's digital nature enables transparency, improved traceability, and
quicker analysis.
Another choice may be to share distributed ledgers with regulators, which would save time
by removing the need to write reports while also making it easier to spot dangers. Using
63 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
blockchain will facilitate automation, which will result in lower procedure costs and faster
decision-making.
In finance there are few companies using blockchain technology to their companies. Below
is mentioned the famous world companies using blockchain in their bank and finance
works.
HSBC: By the end of March 2020, the bank HSBC intends to implement the blockchain-
based platform. They will transition even more from their current paper-based records to
the fully digital and decentralized Vault platform. As a result, their investors can finally
monitor their funds in real-time. Also, it will include private features.
Visa: This was one of the companies with blockchain technology that did come a long way
in the niche. Previously in 2016, they presented a blockchain platform that would deal with
business-to-business payment services. Nonetheless, it took them time to get the project
live. By the end of 2019, they hoped to cover 90 markets that the firms can payments to.
BBVA: One business using blockchain technology in the financial industry is BBVA. With
this amazing technology, Red Electrica Company and BBVA just finished a syndicated
loan. Supposedly, the €150 million acquisition was funded by MUFG, BNP Paribas, and
BBVA. Furthermore, using BBVA's blockchain platform, the loan was disbursed in record
time.
2.5.5 Energy
One of the major concerns of international governments today is access to affordable

renewable energy. Low-carbon technologies receive close to 80% of public research and
development funding, and this number is increasing. Global energy consumption decreased
by 4.5% in 2020 because to the COVID-19 epidemic, but it increased by nearly 5% in
2021.
The energy markets are being seriously disrupted by blockchain-based solutions. These are
some of the possible benefits of blockchain-based solutions for the energy sector.
64 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Automated invoicing for dispersed generators and customers may be possible with
blockchain-based technologies like smart contracts and smart meters.
Markets & Trading: Blockchain-based trading platforms may contribute to the

advancement of commodity trading, risk management, and forecasting as well as wholesale
energy markets.
Grid management: Blockchain-based solutions would naturally be helpful for data storage,
controlling smart grids, easing interactions between entities, and protecting data
transmissions.
Sharing of resources: The use of blockchain technology would be especially advantageous

for private and commercial offers to share the charging solutions, such as for electric
vehicles or future mobility solutions.
There are few world energy companies using blockchain technology to their production.
Shell: One of the energy businesses utilizing blockchain technology in the industry is Shell.
Shell intends to employ blockchain for crude oil trading, along with Sinochem Energy
Technologies Co Ltd and Macquarie.
Furthermore, they have previously investigated the technology for the oil sectors.
However, using the platform makes it simple to track the products, encourage transparency,
and stop fraud.
Siemens: Another business investing in blockchain for energy is Siemens. Furthermore,

the business recently stated that it wanted to innovate the energy industry. In any case, they
also have plans to expand the solution to include Electricity generating Services.
Chile’s National Energy Commission: The National Energy Commission of Chile will
record all of its energy sector data on an Ethereum-based network. It will be wiser to have
an unchangeable record as there are many inconsistencies in the energy business. To
leverage the open Ethereum platform for this, though, they are more than eager.
65 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
Beyond these things blockchain technology used for travel industry, government, IoT and
many industries. Applications for blockchain technology are expanding globally across. It
continuously updated daily and change in future.
2.6 Current Trends software engineering field with Blockchain
Blockchain technology has emerged as a disruptive force in the software engineering field,
enabling the creation of decentralized, trustless systems that can securely store and transfer
data and value without the need for intermediaries. Here are some of the current trends in
software engineering that are related to blockchain technology:
Decentralized Applications (dApps): One of the most significant trends in software

engineering is the development of decentralized applications or dApps that are built on
blockchain technology. These applications are designed to operate without a central
authority or middleman, and they leverage the inherent security and transparency of
blockchain technology to provide users with greater control over their data and assets.
Smart Contracts: Another major trend in software engineering is the use of smart
contracts, which are self-executing contracts that are encoded on a blockchain. Smart
contracts can be used to automate various business processes, eliminate the need for
intermediaries, and reduce costs associated with traditional contract management.
Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS): With the growing popularity of blockchain technology,

many cloud providers are now offering blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) platforms that
allow developers to build and deploy blockchain applications quickly and easily. BaaS
platforms typically provide tools for managing blockchain networks, creating smart
contracts, and integrating with other systems.
Interoperability: As blockchain technology continues to mature, there is a growing need

for interoperability between different blockchain networks. Software engineers are
working on solutions that allow different blockchain networks to communicate and
66 |

lOMoARcPSD|43701029
exchange information securely, paving the way for the creation of more complex,
interconnected blockchain-based systems.
Privacy and Security: Finally, privacy and security are major concerns in the software
engineering field, and blockchain technology is no exception. Software engineers are
working on solutions that allow users to maintain their privacy while still leveraging the
benefits of blockchain technology. This includes the use of zero-knowledge proofs, multi-
party computation, and other cryptographic techniques to ensure the confidentiality and
integrity of data on a blockchain.

Greater Efficiency and Lower Costs: Blockchain technology can also increase efficiency
and lower costs by eliminating intermediaries and reducing the time and resources needed
to manage complex processes. This could have significant impacts on industries such as
finance, supply chain management, and healthcare.
Improved Security: Blockchain technology can also improve security by providing a more
secure, tamper-proof way of storing and transferring data. With blockchain, transactions
are cryptographically secured, and the decentralized nature of the technology makes it more
difficult for hackers to compromise the system.
Improved Identity Management: Blockchain technology could also provide a more

secure and efficient way of managing digital identities. By using blockchain-based identity
systems, individuals would have more control over their personal data and could choose to
share specific pieces of information with others on a need-to-know basis.

blockchain, we conducted a methodical mapping study in this area.

This systematic mapping adheres to the recommendations made by Petersen et al. for
systematic mappings in SE. I found 22 pertinent papers after a thorough search and
selection procedure, and we then retrieved data from them under the headings of study
type, research topic, and contribution type. My findings point to a rising trend in studies
starting in 2023. While some research concentrated on leveraging smart contracts to
automate SDLC tasks, such as the acceptance phase, payments to software developers, and
compliance adherence, several studies focused on replacing centralized platforms, such as
GitHub, Travis CI, and cloud-based package managers. Furthermore, blockchain enables
reliable coordination and collaboration in the areas of distributed software development,
software provenance, and software integrity evaluation.
Researchers should produce more prototypes and proofs-of-concept because the use of
blockchain in software engineering is still in its infancy. This will help researchers better
grasp the benefits that blockchain may provide the SE industry. The use of blockchain-
focused SE applications by practitioners may be encouraged by increased research
activities on this subject. I present the following future directions based on this analysis:
Using smart contracts, automatically compare software requirements and design to
established acceptance criteria. look into the overall effects of blockchain on the
effectiveness and quality of software development. enquire about the alignAppl. ment
between agile concepts and blockchain principles analyze the features of various
blockchain systems and look into whether they can be used for SE use cases. examine how
blockchain 4.0 will affect software engineering and the demand for people with both
blockchain and software engineering expertise. The development and validation of a
blockchain-enabled framework for requirements management and traceability in
interorganizational software projects will be the main focus of our upcoming work.

In final conclusion, emerging technologies are shaping the future of our world, and
blockchain technology is at the forefront of this revolution. As software engineers and
innovators continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with blockchain technology,
I can expect to see significant impacts in various industries that will drive innovation,
efficiency, and transparency. While there are challenges and risks associated with
blockchain technology, the potential benefits far outweigh the risks, and it is an exciting
time to be part of the blockchain revolution.
