What is Blockchain?
Imagine a massive, unbreakable book shared by everyone in the jungle. This "book" records everything transparently and securely—no cheating allowed!
- Block: Think of it as a page that holds data (like transactions).
- Chain: These pages are locked together in order, creating an unalterable history.
This system ensures security and trust without needing a central authority, making it almost impossible to tamper with the data.
How Does Blockchain Work?
- Transaction Request: Someone wants to trade bananas (or Bitcoin).
- Verification: The jungle’s network of nodes (computers) checks if the trade is valid.
- Block Creation: Once approved, the trade becomes a new "page" in the blockchain.
- Chaining: The new block is added to the chain, visible to everyone.
- Security: Once locked, no one can rewrite the pages—your data is safe.
Types of Blockchains
- Public Blockchain
- Open to everyone.
- Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum.
