This book presents the best papers from the 1st International Conference on Mathematical Research for Blockchain Economy (MARBLE) 2019, held in Santorini, Greece. While most blockchain conferences and forums are dedicated to business applications, product development or Initial Coin Offering (ICO) launches, this conference focused on the mathematics behind blockchain to bridge the gap between practice and theory. Every year, thousands of blockchain projects are launched and circulated in the market, and there is a tremendous wealth of blockchain applications, from finance to healthcare, education, media, logistics and more. However, due to theoretical and technical barriers, most of these applications are impractical for use in a real-world business context. The papers in this book reveal the challenges and limitations, such as scalability, latency, privacy and security, and showcase solutions and developments to overcome them.

This textbook focuses on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and its potential impact on society at large. It aims to offer a detailed and self-contained introduction to the founding principles behind DLT accessible to a well-educated but not necessarily mathematically oriented audience. DLT allows solving many complicated problems arising in economics, banking, and finance, industry, trade, and other fields. However, to reap the ultimate benefits, one has to overcome some of its inherent limitations and use it judiciously. Not surprisingly, amid increasing applications of DLT, misconceptions are formed over its use. The book thoroughly dispels these misconceptions via an impartial assessment of the arguments rooted in scientific reasoning.Blockchain and Distributed Ledgers: Mathematics, Technology, and Economics offers a detailed and self-contained introduction to DLT, blockchains, and cryptocurrencies and seeks to equip the reader with an ability to participate in the crypto economy meaningfully.

Distributed Computing to Blockchain: Architecture, Technology, and Applications provides researchers, computer scientists, and data scientists with a comprehensive and applied reference covering the evolution of distributed systems computing into blockchain and associated systems. Divided into three major sections, the book explores the basic topics in the blockchain space extending from distributed systems architecture, distributed ledger, decentralized web to introductory aspects of cryptoeconomics (cryptography and economics) of decentralized applications. The book further explores advanced concepts such as smart contracts; distributed token mining, initial coin offerings; proof of work; public, private, and other blockchains; cryptography; security; and blockchains. The book goes on to review byzantine fault tolerance, distributed ledgers versus blockchains, and blockchain protocols. The final section covers multiple use cases and applications of distributed computing and the future directions for blockchains. - Presented as a focused reference handbook describing the evolution of distributed systems, blockchain, and consensus algorithms emphasizing the architectural and functional aspects - Integrates the various concepts of cryptography in blockchain and further extends to blockchain forensics - Provides insight and detailed Interpretation of algorithms for consensus in blockchains

Blockchain technology provided a buzz-seeking opportunity for all industries to implement improved corporate procedures and trust-building. Still, some industries, such as the banking sector, may view it as a disruptive technology that must be adopted. A transaction ledger’s contents can be verified, maintained, and synchronized by community members using blockchain technology. A transaction can never be changed or removed from the blockchain; updates may only be made by participants in the system. Its distributed database cannot be manipulated, disrupted, or hacked in the same manner as conventional, user-controlled access systems and centralized databases. Building Secure Business Models Through Blockchain Technology: Tactics, Methods, Limitations, and Performance studies and explores the status of blockchain technology and, through the latest technology, builds business models to secure the future direction in the field of business. This book discusses the tactics and methods, as well as their limitations and performance. Covering topics such as AI-based efficient models, digital technology and services, and financial trading, this premier reference source is a valuable resource for business leaders and managers, IT managers, students and educators of higher education, entrepreneurs, government officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
