Emerging blockchain related technologies will significantly transform transactions, currencies, system operations and management in the digital era. On one hand, blockchain will play a crucial role for secure decentralization in fields such as Internet of Things, cyber physical systems, cloud and edge computing, future Internet, security, fault tolerance, next generation wireless communications, etc. On the other hand, its advance should be further refined and optimized in terms of scalability, privacy, security, fault tolerance, availability and high dependability. In the meantime, arising new applications of blockchain will bring along new requirements, research issues and new challenges for research communities.

2023 6th International Conference on Blockchain Technology and Applications(ICBTA 2023) will be held in Xi'an again during December 15-17, 2023. It is an annual conference organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in the area of Blockchain Technology and Applications.
