Abstract
Blockchain technology has evolved from its origins as the foundational ledger for cryptocurrencies to a disruptive paradigm for decentralized, transparent, and secure data management across numerous sectors. This review paper provides a systematic analysis of core blockchain architectures, consensus protocols, and smart contract functionalities that enable its diverse applications. We examine the transition from public, permissionless networks to private and consortium models tailored for enterprise needs. The paper surveys seminal and contemporary research across key domains including decentralized finance (DeFi), supply chain provenance, healthcare data exchange, electronic voting, and the Internet of Things (IoT). By synthesizing findings from foundational protocols to cutting-edge cross-chain solutions, we identify common technical motifs and domain-specific implementations. Furthermore, the review delineates persistent challenges such as scalability trilemmas, interoperability gaps, regulatory uncertainty, and significant energy consumption. This consolidated analysis aims to serve as a reference for researchers and practitioners, highlighting both the transformative potential and the critical limitations of blockchain techniques as a trustless infrastructure for the digital age.
