🔗 This technology is more secure than other record keeping systems because each new transaction is encrypted and linked to the previous transaction.
🗝 Blockchain, as the name suggests, is formed by a network of computers coming together to confirm a ‘block’, this block is then added to a ledger, which forms a ‘chain’. Blockchain is formed by a complicated string of mathematical numbers and is impossible to be altered once formed.
⚙ This immutable and incorruptible nature of blockchain makes it safe from falsified information and hacks. It's decentralized nature also gives it a unique quality of being ‘trustless’ – meaning that parties do not need trust to transact safely.
