What is Blockchain?
Despite the underlying complexity of the technology, a blockchain is simply another type of database for storing information – information that is copied to all of the computers in a participating network. A blockchain is thus sometimes referred to as a ‘distributed ledger’.
Data in this decentralized environment is stored in fixed structures called ‘blocks’.
Key Components of a ‘Block’ are described below:
- Its header, which includes metadata, such as a unique block reference number, the time the block was created and a link back to the previous block
- Its content, usually a validated list of digital assets and instruction statements, such as transactions made, their amounts and the addresses of the parties to those transactions.
Since each block is ‘chained’ to the previous block, a blockchain database keeps a complete record of all the data, its versions, and the instructions/commands executed on it since its origin. This is critical as the blockchain guarantees the data’s integrity and auditability as long as less than 50% of the computational power and nodes have been compromised.
As the number of participants grows, it becomes harder for malicious actors to overcome the verification activities of the majority. Therefore the network becomes increasingly robust and secure.
