What is blockchain technology and how does it work?

A blockchain is a public digital ledger of transactions that records information in a way that makes it difficult to hack or alter. The technology allows a secure way for individuals to deal directly with each other, without an intermediary like a government, bank or other third party.

What is blockchain technology in simple terms?

Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.

Blockchain technology is most simply defined as a decentralized, distributed ledger that records the provenance of a digital asset. 

By inherent design, the data on a blockchain is unable to be modified, which makes it a legitimate disruptor for industries like payments, cybersecurity and healthcare. 

What is blockchain used for?

Blockchain technology can be used to create a permanent, public, transparent ledger system for compiling data on sales, tracking digital use and payments to content creators, such as wireless users or musicians.

What is blockchain example?

A Blockchain is a chain of blocks which contain information. 

For example, a Bitcoin Block contains information about the Sender, Receiver, number of bitcoins to be transferred. The first block in the chain is called the Genesis block.

Blockchain is becoming a legitimate disruptor in a myriad of industries. The technology has become so promising that the tech giant IBM has invested heavily in its research.

In addition, more than 90% of European and US banks are researching blockchain options. The technology can revolutionize government, finance, insurance and personal identity security, among hundreds of other fields.
