Blockchain

A blockchain is a shared, tamper-proof digital ledger that records transactions in a chain of blocks.

It is the technology behind cryptocurrencies. Each block is linked to the previous one and validated by a network, making the history very hard to tamper with. It allows exchange without a central intermediary.

Example

Every bitcoin transaction is written into a block, added to the chain and visible to everyone.
