How Blockchain Works
A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger shared among a computer network’s nodes. They are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions, but they are not limited to cryptocurrency uses. Blockchains can be used to make data in any industry immutable—the term used to describe the inability to be altered.
Blockchain is a type of shared database that differs from a typical database in the way it stores information; blockchains store data in blocks linked together via cryptography.
Different types of information can be stored on a blockchain, but the most common use for transactions has been as a ledger.
In Bitcoin’s case, blockchain is decentralized so that no single person or group has control—instead, all users collectively retain control.
Decentralized blockchains are immutable, which means that the data entered is irreversible. For Bitcoin, transactions are permanently recorded and viewable to anyone.
Why Learn About Blockchain?
Blockchain increases trust, security, transparency, and the traceability of data shared across a business network — and delivers cost savings with new efficiencies.
Business
Blockchain for business uses a shared and immutable ledger that can only be accessed by members with permission.
Verification
Blockchain facilitates the verification and traceability of multistep transactions that require verification and traceability.
Secure
It can ensure secure transactions, lower compliance expenses, and accelerate data transfer processing.
Technology
Blockchain technology can aid in contract administration and product auditing.
Safe
Blockchain is a method of storing data that makes it difficult or impossible to update, hack, or defraud the system. A blockchain is simply a digital ledger of transactions that is replicated and distributed across the blockchain’s complete network of computer systems.

What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a form of digital asset based on a network that is distributed across a large number of computers. This decentralized structure allows them to exist outside the control of governments and central authorities.
Different Types of Digital Currencies
According to CoinMarketCap, (link) there are thousands of cryptocurrencies, with a total market capitalization of $1.1 trillion. That is prolific, considering that Bitcoin, the most famous crypto, launched in 2009.
Some cryptos, like Bitcoin, are used as investment vehicles. Many buyers consider them to be a store of value. Others are more transactional, like ETH. Developers can build all sorts of transactional tools, services and communities on the Ethereum Protocol, using the more transactional blockchains.
A Stable coin is a cryptocurrency with a value pegged to another asset’s price. E.g USDC.
Tokens are digital assets stored on the blockchain database. They are created on blockchains that already exist, and typically represent an asset or provide the holder a specific service or access to an application. A token is a digital unit that represents an asset or utility. For example, countless tokens run on the Ethereum network.
Types of Crypto Tokens:
Value tokens. These types of tokens are an object of value, such as a digital asset like art or music in the form of an NFT (Non-Fungible Token)
Utility tokens. These are tokens that help provide a service. They give users the right to perform actions on a blockchain network or a decentralized application.
