Blockchain Technology

Introduction to Blockchain Technology

Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology that allows information to be recorded in a secure and transparent manner. Public ledgers, which are accessible to anyone, are a key feature of blockchain technology.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on blockchain technology, and use digital tokens to represent value. These tokens can be exchanged for goods and services, and can also be traded on digital exchanges.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a broader term that encompasses blockchain and other similar technologies that distribute information across a network of nodes.

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer protocol for sharing and storing files, while Ethereum is a decentralized platform for building smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is a middleware technology used to facilitate communication between different applications.

In addition to their use in cryptocurrency, blockchain and DLT are being explored for their potential applications in areas such as supply chain management, voting systems, and identity verification. Many enterprises are developing projects to leverage the benefits of blockchain technology for their businesses.
