Blockchain technology is a potential sector at the foreground, though it is currently in its embryonic form, but will retain itself as an emerging technology at an early stage. Besides blockchain being a trusted, decentralized database, it has its success in many applications across various fields like education, medicine, insurance, finance, energy, environment, supply chain management, and various other associated operations. The work provides a systematic survey of blockchain, how it works, and its characteristics, applications, and challenges. The aim is to investigate how blockchain technology, besides artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, would be an effective factor to fight the current pandemic scenario. To the end, a brief survey is carried out on how blockchain technology would be fruitful in uplifting the global economy post-COVID, with a summary of the blockchain toolkit by the World Economic Forum. |
