Blockchain Technology
Blockchain is a distributed database that is used to maintain a continuously growing list of records, called blocks. Each block contains a timestamp, a transaction record, and a reference to the previous block. Once a block is added to the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted, making it a very secure way to store data. Blockchain technology is being used to develop a wide range of applications, including cryptocurrencies, supply chain management systems, and voting systems.
