Blockchain is one of the most significant and innovative technological developments in recent years. Blockchain use cases are no longer limited to the financial sector but have expanded into various industries such as healthcare and education. It is imperative to educate individuals early to prepare them for the widespread adoption of blockchain technology. To this end, we created a hybrid board game to educate players about the blockchain mechanism. The game mechanics incorporate three topics: block properties, mining nodes, and the proof-of-work process. Each player competes to get as many coins as possible from mining and transacting while protecting their mining nodes from other players. This study aims to determine how well the players understood each topic after playing the game. We experimented with 22 students in grades 11 and 12, ranging in age from 17 to 18. We administered a multiple-choice test, followed by an interview, to determine their level of knowledge. After participating in the activity, the average score for the block properties topic was 51 percent, for the mining nodes was 51 percent, and for the proof-of-work process was 40 percent.
As blockchain technology continues to gain attention, there is a growing need to make it more accessible to young learners in K-12 education. However, the technical complexity and lack of accessible tools have been identified as significant barriers to adoption. Our paper proposes a new method for empowering NFTs by continuously updating their metadata using an API layer. The approach aims to reduce the barriers to entry and enable K-12 students to explore blockchain technology in the same way they learn computational thinking through visual programming tools like Scratch. Our method utilizes Google Blockly, a visual programming language, to make updating NFT metadata more accessible and engaging for young learners. By leveraging a familiar and engaging visual programming language, students can develop their computational thinking skills and explore blockchain technology in a fun and intuitive way. The paper discusses the benefits of using NFTs as a learning tool, including how they can help students understand the concept of digital ownership and value. Overall, our proposed method has the potential to promote student engagement and understanding of blockchain technology, which could have significant implications for the future of education.

Smart destinations require a management system that provides convenient real-time use of digital technology in creating, communicating, and delivering value to visitors. Research related to smart island destinations is still limited, let alone those that utilize blockchain technology to create the smartness of the destination. This research is an empirical study that captures the perceptions of stakeholders in the blue economy on smart islands and the use of blockchain technology in order to build smart islands, a destination that consists of many islands that lack connectedness, such as the Seribu Islands in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected using qualitative and quantitative approaches (mixed methods). Qualitative data were collected from scientific journal publications and followed up with VOS viewer analysis, and quantitative data with the questionnaire survey responses from 150 blue economy industry players in the Seribu Islands and structural equation modeling showed that good digital literacy and blue economy management have significant influence on blockchain technology and impact smart islands. This study indicates that, for islands that have challenges in accessibility and connectivity, the presence of blockchain and smart technology is needed to integrate various resources from each stakeholder so that the blue economy in the islands can be developed more effectively and efficiently, while at the same time ensuring the achievement of sustainability.
Blockchain is a peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology, nowadays widely used and a hot topic in the industries. A Smart Contract is a virtual contract based on Blockchain technology which executes and operates between two parties (especially a buyer and a dealer) when a certain condition of the contract is met. The objective of this research is to present a decentralized transaction system based on Blockchain technology implemented using Smart Contract. Blockchain based cryptocurrencies are an evidence for a secure implementation of any currency-based centralized systems put forth in use in a decentralized way. Current transaction systems and payment gateways are centralized systems that need monitoring and verification from a central agency like a bank or a third party organization which are not completely automated as some of the processes are human controlled. Also deposition and withdrawal of money sometimes take a long procedural time. Still these systems are neither completely error free nor secure and time to time certain issues may arise. Even nowadays some payment methods charges transaction fee which is like paying for the money you are paying for. In this research paper we are proposing an automated Ethereum blockchain technology based transactionsystem which will eliminate the bank and third party verification.Each block of the Ethereum blockchain in the system will store the transaction details also linked with all the previous transaction details in the form of a chain. A Smart Contract is used to define the terms and conditions of the transaction which include account creation, ether deposition and withdrawal. This system enables users to carry out transaction without any fraud and losses from anywhere around the globe within split seconds. Keywords: Transaction system ,Blockchain, Smart Contract, decentralized,crypto-currency

Accounting practices are based on their underlying accounting principles, and currently, the Double-Entry Accounting (DEA) is used in both manual and computer-based Accounting Information Systems (AIS). DEA has been used for centuries according to the rules that were set when it was invented. At this stage, there is no further room to expand its functionality, but a logical expansion of DEA is possible. This new dimension is called Triple-Entry bookkeeping in which a third accounting entry is passed in a shared ledger that is distributed in nature and publicly visible. Similarly, Blockchain is a form of shared ledger distributed on a peer-to-peer network, and all transactions in the ledger are available to view. Blockchain emerged in 2008 as an underlying record-keeping and data storage technology for Bitcoin. It is believed that TEA is the idea behind the Blockchain. In this research study, we review the evolution of TEA and Blockchain from the existing academic literature, and the findings of the study will deepen the researchers' understanding of these two concepts and help them identify new opportunities.

Blockchain is a digital ledger technology in which transactions are stored in a continuously growing list of blocks that cannot be changed and distributed without a centralized server. In recent years, the airport industry has become one of the industries that have implemented blockchain into its business processes. For this reason, we would like to review existing research on the implementation of blockchain in the airport industry to provide an overview of how far blockchain has developed in the industry and also to identify which business processes in the airport industry can be optimized by implementing Blockchain. The review results show that there are three business processes that take place in airports, namely baggage handling systems, cargo handling, and passenger management for aircraft. Blockchain Technology can also be combined with other supporting technology, such as IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML), Big Data, etc. From the research literature that we analyzed, the combined use of blockchain technology with IoT and AI/ML can increase security in the process of data transactions in the system.
Mencapai keseimbangan antara skalabilitas, keberlanjutan, dan keamanan sambil mempertahankan desentralisasi telah menjadi solusi target untuk aplikasi blockchain yang terdesentralisasi selama beberapa tahun terakhir. Beberapa pendekatan telah diusulkan oleh beberapa tim blockchain untuk mencapainya, Ethereum termasuk di antaranya. Ethereum berada di jalur peningkatan protokol utama yang disebut Ethereum 2.0 (Eth2), menerapkan Sharding dan memperkenalkan Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Karena perubahan mekanisme konsensus merupakan masalah yang rumit, peningkatan ini akan dicapai melalui fase yang berbeda, yang pertama adalah penerapan Beacon Chain. Sebagai Ethereum1, Eth2 mengandalkan jaringan peer-to-peer (p2p) terdesentralisasi untuk distribusi pesan. Hingga saat ini, ada lebih dari 17.500 node di jaringan utama Eth2 yang tersebar secara geografis. Namun, topologi yang satu ini masih belum diketahui. Dalam makalah ini, kami menyajikan hasil yang diperoleh dari analisis yang kami lakukan pada jaringan p2p Eth2. Menggambarkan topologi jaringan, kemungkinan bahaya yang disiratkan oleh yang satu ini (Cortes-Goicoechea and Bautista-Gomez, 2021).
