The popularity of blockchain has skyrocketed recently due to the technology’s potential for increased efficiency, security and transparency.
A blockchain is a dtributed ledger of data in which information is replicated across multiple nodes. Each “block” is a time-stamped, unchangeable data record managed by a cluster of computers and not owned by a single entity. These blocks of data are stored and bound to one another-the “chain” using cryptography. In a decentralized blockchain, this enables immutable, premanent, transparent and secure record-keeping of transactions. One of the most exciting aspects of decentralized blockchain networks is the lack of a central authority, which means that the blockchain acts as a self-regulating data storage and transaction validation system. Since a blockchain is a shared and unchangeable ledger, the information stored there is a permanently and publicly viewable. Decentralized blockchain networks enable the transfer of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin across the globe, among many other innovative use cases.
