Blockchain technology is a new and emerging technology that has the potential to change the way we view and use information. Blockchain technology was created to make digital transactions more secure and reliable, while also eliminating the need for third-party oversight.Â
A blockchain is a digital ledger that can be used to store records of information such as transactions or contracts. Every time a transaction occurs, it is recorded in a block of data. The data is linked with other blocks in a chain of data, which forms a chain of blocks.
The technology is often compared to a chain because it is a chain of blocks that each has a unique identifier, time stamp, and transaction history. The technology was originally created as a public ledger for Bitcoin, but the potential of blockchain technology extends beyond cryptocurrency.
