Blockchain technology is an innovation that has been applied in various fields such as education, health, economy, and other areas. In this study, researchers want to see the impact that blockchain technology has had on universities in technology and information to improve universities' quality. The methodology used is by reviewing previous research papers related to the research. So that this research is expected to contribute, which can overcome the problems being faced, such as the application of blockchain in universities, namely how to use the blockchain system, what blockchain is, and how to change existing technology into disruptive technology. The experimental results state that by using data from the previous paper, the aim is to reveal the impact that blockchain technology has had on technology and information that is useful for improving the quality of universities in encouraging human potential and improving quality so that they can compete both domestically and abroad.

INTRODUCTION Technology is a change that can see in every era. Changes in technology have become modern, affecting performance in every field such as education, health, economy, and all fields [1]. Changes in information and communication technology seen from the industrial revolution 1.0 to 4.0 always make changes every year, such as using more modern technology and under human needs to adapt to today's lifestyle, which is never separated from the name technology [2]. Nasution's research. M (2018) previously explained that information technology is a field of science with rapid development at any time, and it is impossible to predict any changes from the beginning of the year to the end of the year [3]. Patrick Ocheja, Brendan Flanagan, & Hiroaki Ogata (2018) said that learning requires a technology that can visit educational activities without disturbing other activities [4]. In Fig. 1, the genesis block is the source for the creation of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is a technology with popularity in education, becoming an icon in all fields. The privilege of blockchain is not far from the genesis block. The background of the problem from the research conducted by Grigore albeanu (2017) explains how vital an online educational resource is for students because there are many places to find help. Knowledge (courses) is wasted on the platform because it doesn't run properly [5]. Blockchain technology is the right solution for online education. It can be developed into an application or in smart contacts, providing
