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 is sponsored by EAI and selected papers based on the peer review outcomes will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue.
