Abstract
Blockchain can function as a foundational technology with numerous applications in smart cities. The objective of the paper after which this talk is named is twofold. First, it provides a detailed overview of the extant literature on blockchain applications in smart cities; second, it reveals the trends and suggests future research directions for scholars who wish to contribute to this rapidly growing field. The paper is put in context of the overall utility of distributed ledgers, and the growing systems of cyber-physical security employed in many fields (manufacturing, energy, transportation, precision agriculture, and operations).
