Blockchain (BC) has become one of the most important technologies in recent years. It is a set of nodes connected to each other in a decentralized way. A smart city is a system that connects groups of devices which produce and share a vast amount of information. Because of this large amount of data that travels between devices, there must be an organizational structure to organize and manage this movement. The basic characteristics of this system are transparent, decentralized, autonomy and immutable. All of these properties can be provided by BC Technology. In this paper, we explore research that applies the BC technique in different areas of smart cities. Shedding light on ways to improve systems currently applied in those cities.
