Join us at the 2025 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain

IEEE Blockchain-2025 is held in Zhengzhou, Henan, China, October 30- November 02, 2025. The goal of this conference is to promote community-wide discussion for identifying advanced applications, technologies and theories for blockchain. We seek submissions of papers that invent novel techniques, investigate new applications, introduce advanced methodologies, propose promising research directions and discuss approaches for unsolved issues.

As a promising technique to achieve decentralized consensus, blockchain has been successfully applied into digital currency, e.g., bitcoin, for serving as a public ledger for transactions. Its secure design for supporting a distributed computing system with high fault tolerance is attracting wide attention all over the world. Blockchain has a great potential to create new foundations for our socio-economic systems by efficiently establishing trust among people and machines, reducing cost, and increasing utilization of resources. On one hand, blockchain will play an important role for secure decentralization in such emerging fields as Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, edge computing, social networking, crowdsourcing and next generation wireless communications, and even more other fields. On the other hand, its advance should be further evolved in terms of scalability, security, privacy, efficiency, flexibility, availability, real decentralization and high dependability.

We welcome high-quality papers that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in ubiquitous intelligence and computing. Topics for submissions include but are not limited to the following:

  • Theories of blockchain and distributed ledger technology
  • New blockchain architecture
  • Distributed consensus and fault tolerance mechanisms
  • Security, privacy and trust of blockchain and distributed ledger
  • Cross-chain and off-chain technology
  • Attacks and vulnerabilities of blockchain
  • Blockchain scalability and performance optimization
  • Simulation and performance evaluation techniques
  • Smart contract and chain code
  • Applications and services based on blockchain
  • Protocols and algorithms based on blockchain
  • Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT)
  • Blockchain in cyber physical systems
  • Blockchain in social networking
  • Blockchain in supply chain management
  • Blockchain in agriculture
  • Blockchain in connected and autonomous vehicles
  • Blockchain in crowdsourcing and crowdsensing
  • Blockchain in edge and cloud computing
  • Blockchain in next generation communications and networks
  • Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
  • Blockchain and artificial intelligence
  • Blockchain and game theory
  • Blockchain and industry 4.0
  • Redactable blockchain

Paper Submission

All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conterence submission website (EDAS) in PDF format at EDAS (coming soon). Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over-length charge) for a regular full paper, 6 pages (or 8 pages with over-length charge) for a full paper including figures and references using the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings manuscripts style.

Paper Publication

Papers accepted by IEEE Blockchain 2025 conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and EI. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be invited for submission to a special issue
