Abstract Blockchain for smart cities is a growing prospect and gaining attention from academic and industrical standpoint. The increased population of the world has become a challenge to provide state-of-the-art living standards and resources. Smart cities promote innovative healthcare, transportation, education, security, etc. Blockchain is characterized by facilitating transparency, reliability, data integrity, user access control, immutability, decentralization, audibility. Integrating Blockchain in smart cities has its challenges that require extensive research and development. Smart cities hve been in in motion for last few years in different parts of the world. Still, it has created data security, authentication, sustainability, and vulnerability issues, especially when smart cities are not adequately planned. The application of Blockchain has put forward a lot of improvements in the quality and sustainability of smart cities. In this paper, we have discussed the application of Blockchain across various innovative smart city application domains. Blockchain fundamentals have been discussed before to help the reader gain ideas about Blockchain. This paper also provides future research agendas for blockchain integration in smart cities. The agendas will provide the researchers with helpful research directions.
