This study examines scientific articles on the transformation of blockchain
technology in various industries, including banking, agriculture, finance, and
transportation, identifying trends, emerging areas, and research challenges. This study
explores the potential of blockchain technology for decentralizing the internet,
addressing concerns related to privacy, security, and censorship, while also exploring
its trends and associated issues. This study explores the potential of blockchain
technology to revolutionize internet elements including data storage, content delivery,
and identity management, while examining current acceptance patterns for
decentralization. Smart contracts enhance transaction efficiency and transparency,
while interoperability standards enable seamless communication across blockchain
networks, despite substantial obstacles in decentralising the internet. Scalability,
regulatory uncertainty, interoperability, and environmental concerns all pose challenges
to blockchain networks, hindering widespread adoption and compromising the
interoperability and energy usage of internet infrastructure.
