Overview
BlockSys’2020 is a research conference on the theory and practice of blockchain and trustworthy systems. Blockchain has become a hot research area in academia and industry. The blockchain technology is transforming industries by enabling anonymous and trustful transactions in decentralized and trustless environments. As a result, blockchain technology and other technologies for developing trustworthy systems can be used to reduce system risks, mitigate financial fraud and cut down operational cost. Blockchain and trustworthy systems can be applied to many fields, such as financial services, social management and supply chain management.
