Overview of Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is a type of decentralized digital ledger that keeps track of transactions across several computers in a way that prevents them from being changed later. The intrinsic design characteristics of this technology—decentralization, transparency, and immutability—offer a high degree of security. Since the technology was first created for the virtual money known as Bitcoin, the IT community has learned of additional possible uses for it.

Blockchain technology is revolutionary because it creates trust in a world where trust is lacking. It lowers the possibility of fraud and corruption by enabling safe, transparent transactions without the need for a central authority. This revolutionary potential to improve processes' efficiency, security, and transparency extends beyond financial transactions to include supply chain management, healthcare, identity verification, and more. The fundamental findings in computer science, economics, and cryptography are the cornerstone of blockchain technology.
