EXPRIMENT NUMBER-4

AIM: Create a Block of Blockchain using Java Language.


Objective:
 Blocks are files stored by a blockchain, where transaction data are permanently recorded.
 A block records some or all of the most recent transactions not yet validated by the network.
 Once the data are validated, the block is closed.
 Then, a new block is created for new transactions to be entered into and validated.
Requirements:
 Any Text Editor
 Jdk Updated Version
Theory:
Blocks are data structures within the blockchain database, where transaction data in a
crypto currency blockchain are permanently recorded. A block records some or all of the most
recent transactions not yet validated by the network. Once the data are validated, the block is
closed. Then, a new block is created for new transactions to be entered into and validated.
Blocks are created when miners or block validators successfully validate the encrypted information
in the blockheader, which prompts the creation of a new block.
