Blockchain Research Paper

 Research Paper: 

Blockchain continues to be deployed into various businesses and industries. However, Blockchain is not without its problems.  Several challenges have already been associated with the use of this technology.  Identify at least 5 key challenges to Blockchain. Additionally, discuss potential solutions to these challenges. Lastly, please discuss if we will see the limitations to blockchain be reduced or mitigated in the future.  

There are several emerging concepts that are using Big Data and Blockchain Technology. Please search the internet and highlight 5 emerging concepts that are exploring the use of Blockchain and Big Data and how they are being used.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section which discusses both limitations and emerging concepts. 

The paper needs to be approximately 6-8 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 8-10 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately seven to      ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference      page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines.      Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed      content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with      the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least ten      scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and      observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great      place to find supplemental resources.
