Abstract
Blockchain is a holistic system consisting of peer-to-peer connected and distributed blocks of data that eliminates the need for a centralized management entity to manage technological transactions. Blockchain's open-source, impermeable configuration paves the way for an unparalleled level of transparency. Each piece of data is distributed among millions of computers around the world and its authenticity is verified. This relatively new technology is revolutionizing various industries and providing an automated process for managing processes and interactions. The use of blockchain is a cheap and fast solution and it is very attractive that it has experienced a lot of development in recent years. In today's era, the use of blockchain technology plays a very important role in the development of businesses. This powerful technology improves the quality of business and also increases their income and profit. Maintaining business security, authenticity, speed and increasing quality are among the benefits that arise with the help of blockchain in businesses. According to the importance of the issue, in this article we intend to examine the convergence of blockchain with technology-oriented services and related functions.
