Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows for the creation of a shared and immutable database, functioning as a digital ledger in which transactions are recorded transparently and securely on a network of interconnected computers. Each block of information is cryptographically linked to the previous one, forming a blockchain, which guarantees the integrity and authenticity of transactions. In this work, an analysis is made of blockchain applications that go beyond the scope of cryptocurrencies, focusing on sectors such as finance, digital communication and alert systems, in which it will be examined how technologies such as smart contracts, traceability in the supply chain, secure electronic voting, digital identity management, tamper-proof chats and optimization of alert systems are redefining digital interaction. The contribution of this work is an overview of the growing influence of blockchain in the financial sector, highlighting its adoption and the paradigmatic transformation underway.
