Blockchain technology is a decentralized and distributed digital ledger system that securely records transactions across multiple computers in a network. Each transaction is grouped into a block, which is cryptographically linked to the previous block, forming a chain that is tamper-resistant and transparent. This structure ensures data integrity, security, and trust without the need for a central authority.Blockchain enables peer-to-peer transactions using consensus mechanisms, making it highly reliable for applications requiring transparency and immutability. It is widely used in cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, supply chain management, healthcare records, digital identity, and financial services. With features such as decentralization, security, transparency, and automation, blockchain technology is transforming traditional systems and enabling trusted digital interactions across industries.
