Introduction to Blockchain

Technology
Blockchain technology is a decentralized digital ledger that
is revolutionizing data management across various
industries. Its market size is projected to reach $163.83
billion by 2029, highlighting its significant impact on the
future.
What is Blockchain?
A blockchain is a distributed Information is stored in blocks It functions without a central
database shared across a that are cryptographically authority, making it resistant to
network of computers called linked together to create a manipulation or control by any
nodes. chain, ensuring data integrity single entity.
and security.
Key Features of Blockchain

1 Decentralization eliminates the need for a central


point of control, enabling trust and transparency.

2 Transparency allows all network participants to view


and verify transactions, promoting accountability and
trust.

3 Immutability ensures that once recorded, data cannot


be altered, enhancing security and integrity.

4 Security is achieved through cryptographic hashing,


which protects data integrity and prevents
unauthorized modifications.
How Blockchain Works
Transaction Grouping 1
Transactions are grouped together and packaged into blocks.

2 Block Creation

Each block contains transaction data, a timestamp,


and a cryptographic hash of the previous block.
Chain Formation 3
Blocks are linked chronologically, forming a chain
that records and validates transactions.
