Blockchain

BlockchainAt its most basic, a blockchain is a list of transactions that anyone can view and verify. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, contains a record of every time someone sent or received bitcoin.
Blockchains create time-stamped series of immutable records of data that is managed by a cluster of computers not owned by any single entity. Each of these blocks of data (i.e. block) is secured and bound to each other using cryptographic principles (i.e. chain).
The blockchain is a community-based platform, meaning that in most cases, anybody can contribute to the network to help verify transactions. They do so by contributing their computational power, which in return, is able to support the network.
