Abstract
Blockchain has been firstly introduced to public along with the emergence of Bitcoin in 2008. It is widely known as a decentralized and tamper-resistant ledger technique that is maintained by a group of users with specific purpose(s). Considering the scenario of Bitcoin, such a ledger keeps records of all transactions, e.g., financial deals, supply chain information, and copyright ownership. After the smart contract was introduced by Ethereum, blockchain was considered a breakthrough technical concept that fitted in a broad scope of implications and applications. We consider blockchain to be a key term throughout this book.
