EAI BlockTEA 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).
If the local situation allows it, the event will take place on-site in its original location with an option for all authors to present remotely.
In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.


Scope
Motivated by the success of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology has been emerging as a potential technology to be applied in various domains, including finance, computer science, electronic engineering, agriculture, healthcare and more. The blockchain-based emerging applications are able to aid the current systems and networks by leveraging the benefits provided by blockchain technology, such as a decentralized, immutable, and cryptographically secured ledger.

The aim of BlockTEA is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines and discuss the recent advancement in blockchain and its emerging applications. BlockTEA will be the flagship blockchain conference sponsored by EAI and selected papers based on the peer review outcomes will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue.
