  • The transactions can represent various actions in blockchain. It is cryptographically secured. It is a data structure that represents the transfer of value between the users on the blockchain network.
  • It is not owned by a single entity and is decentralized.
  • The three main properties of the Blockchain- Decentralization, Immutability and Transparency.

The blockchain uses special kind of network called “peer to peer network” which partitions the entire workload between participants called peers. There is no one central server; there are several distributed and decentralized peers. It is maintained by peer to peer network. The network is a collection of nodes that are interconnected to one another.

The blockchain gives internet users the ability to create value and authenticates digital information. The new business applications that results from blockchain – Smart contracts, Sharing economy, Crowd funding, Supply chain auditing, File storage, Identity management, Data management and much more.
