Introduction
Blockchain is a public ledger designed to keep track of all
cryptocurrency transactions. This is a transaction-processing and
record-keeping system allowing several users to track information through a
secure network. It is a decentralized method that eliminates the use of third
party verification.
Decentralization, immutability, and transparency are the key features that led to the widespread popularity of blockchains. Blockchain is a decentralized way and there is no authority to keeps records of transactions. It provides transparency and provides all the transactions ever done by a user keeping their identity secret. The data once entered in the blockchain can’t be tempered. It allows multiple institutions to use the data at the very same time and helps in increasing efficiency.
