Abstract: 
With the advent of multiple emerging technologies, we are on the verge of 4IR. This revolution exposes new challenges as well as exciting opportunities. Only the countries with expertise in these emerging technologies can successfully meet the challenges and exploit the opportunities. Blockchain technology is widely regarded as one of the core and foundational technologies that will be one of the driving forces for the upcoming 5IR (Fifth Industrial Revolution). Realizing its potential, many developed as well as developing countries around the world have started exploring how blockchain technology can prepare them for the future challenges and benefit them to solve many existing complex problems to achieve the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) by 2030. This paper is an effort to recognize the need to explore blockchain technology in order to advance its technical capacity, increase efficiency in e-Governances and foster innovations.
