>From the invention of blockchain (BC) concepts in 2008, with the
development of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission,
consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and so on, the blockchain
technology has been paid more and more attentions by all countries. At
present, the application of blockchain has been extended from the financial
field to the Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain
management, and many other fields. The blockchain is creating a new
technological innovation and industrial change on a global scale. We indeed
need creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to
respond to such a change.  The first International Conference on Blockchain
(ICBC 2018) was created in 2018 to promote research and application
innovations around the world in the field of blockchain. Part of the SCF
2018, ICBC 2018 was successfully held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, Seattle,
USA. Part of the SCF 2019, ICBC 2019 was successfully held on June 25 - 30,
2019, San Diego, USA. Part of the SCF 2020, ICBC 2020 and ICBC 2021 was
successfully held over the Internet. ICBC 2022 was successfully held on
December 10 - 14, 2022, Hawaii, USA. In 2023, we will celebrate our 2023
version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international
professional forum on blockchain services.

ICBC 2023 is a member of Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2023
will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences:
2023 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2023), 2023
