What are the characteristics of a Blockchain?

Modified on Tue, 4 Mar at 10:02 AM

Decentralization:

Unlike centralized systems, the blockchain is managed by a network of computers (nodes), creating a tamper-proof and trustworthy system.


Immutability:

Once recorded on the blockchain, data cannot be deleted or altered, as each block is cryptographically linked to the previous one.


Transparency:

In a public blockchain, all participants can view transactions, fostering trust. In private blockchains, transparency can be restricted.


Security:

Advanced cryptography secures transactions and prevents unauthorized manipulation. Decentralization makes it difficult for attackers to compromise the system.


Automation through Smart Contracts:

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts that automatically trigger actions when predefined conditions are met.
