What is Blockchain? Blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that records transactions across multiple computers. Unlike traditional databases controlled by a single authority, blockchain operates on a peer-to-peer network, where each node verifies and stores identical copies of data. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability by cryptographically linking blocks of data into an irreversible chain. Key Features of Blockchain Decentralization: No single entity controls the network—transactions are validated through consensus mechanisms, like proof-of-work or proof-of-stake. Immutability: Transactions cannot be altered or deleted without consensus, making fraud extremely difficult. Security: Data is safeguarded by advanced cryptography, protecting against unauthorized access.…

Blocks: Each block contains a list of transactions. Once a block is completed, it is cryptographically linked to the previous…
