What is Blockchain?
❑Blockchain is a distributed database but its stored devices are not connected to a shared server.
❑In blockchain list of records is stored as blocks and they are linked by using cryptography.
❑Hence we can say that blockchain is a digital record and is used for recording transactions made
with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoins.
❑If we add a new block it can be linked with the previous block with the help of a cryptographic
block generated from the previous block. By doing so the block is permanently recorded and it is
not broken.
❑In blockchain previous transactions alteration is very difficult because all subsequent blocks also
need to be altered. We can say that blockchain is the purest peer-to-peer database that is
immutable.
