“Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions
and tracking assets in a business network.” - IBM
“Blockchain technology is a decentralized and distributed digital ledger system that records
transactions across multiple computers in a way that is secure, transparent, and tamper-
resistant.” - ChatGPT
“A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger shared among a computer network's nodes” -

Ledger can be understanded as a book or digi record of company’s accounts
Assets can be tangible and intangible
Key characteristics
1. Decentralization: work on a network of computer (nodes)
a. Better security
b. Reduce risk of failure
2. Distributed Ledger:
a. A blockchain is a digital ledger that records transactions in a sequential and
chronological order.
b. Each transaction is grouped into a block, and these blocks are linked together in a
chronological chain.
c. All network participants have access to the distributed ledger and its immutable record
of transactions.
d. It is maintained through the nodes each of which has a copy
e. DLTs allow information to be stored securely and accurately using cryptography.
f. The data can be accessed using "keys" and cryptographic signatures.
g. Once the information is stored, it can become an immutable database; the rules of the
network, written into the coding of the database programming, govern the ledger.
3. Consensus on data:
a. These are rules that determine how nodes agree on the state of the blockchain.
b. Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) are common consensus mechanisms used
in various blockchain networks
4. Immutability
5. Transparency: Blockchain transactions are typically visible to all participants in the network
6. Smart contracts:
a. Smart contracts are simply programs stored on a blockchain that run when
predetermined conditions are met.
b. They typically are used to automate the execution of an agreement so that all
participants can be immediately certain of the outcome, without any intermediary’s
involvement or time loss
c. Executed automatically
How it works
Transaction:
These blocks form a chain of data as an asset moves from place to place or ownership changes
hands.
The blocks confirm the exact time and sequence of transactions, and the blocks link securely
together to prevent any block from being altered or a block being inserted between two existing
blocks.
Blocked:
Additional block strengthens the verification of the previous block hence the entire chain
This renders the blockchain tamper-evident, delivering the key strength of immutability
This removes the possibility of tampering by a malicious actor — and builds a ledger of
transactions
