Blockchain connecting the past and the present

 

Blockchain


Blockchain technology 


Since it was introduced just ten years ago by an unknown person or persons who were responsible for creating the first and most famous digital currency, BITCOIN, or as it is abbreviated, BTC, blockchain technology is recent and has the potential to develop into the bedrock of record-keeping and data-keeping systems around the world.

We will learn about the idea of blockchain technology, how it works, and why it has attracted so much interest and popularity since its inception in this post.


The birth of Blockchain technology


When Stewart Haber and Scott Stornetta first discussed the idea of creating a chain of data blocks that would be recorded and secured using cryptography, it was in 1991 AD. Then Nick Szabo, a programmer and computer scientist, tried to use these ideas to try to create an infinite digital currency. This centralization was called Bit Gold, and it occurred in 1998 AD.


The white paper creating the blockchain model, published in 2008 by the developer(s) working under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, is considered to be a real breakthrough in blockchain technology. A year later, it is already being used as a comprehensive record of transactions involving the digital currency Bitcoin.


Blockchain technology saw a major technical breakthrough in 2014 when the currency was removed from the Blockchain and its potential for financial transactions in general among many other parties was investigated. 


The second version of the blockchain has been developed, known as blockchain 2.0. It has been used for applications other than the concept of digital money, such as what the Ethereum blockchain system has demonstrated in computer programs in the form of blocks representing financial assets such as bonds. Then it was referred to as smart contracts.


Explanatory and detailed meaning of the concept of Blockchain


Open-source, programmable, and uncontrollable technology is the blockchain. It is simply a digital record of transactions that are replicated and distributed across the system's network in blocks of encrypted data, each of which is a block attached to the next and protected by specialized cryptography.


Each block contains a hash, which is a mathematical algorithm that records a small portion of the data for transactions included in the record as a whole and is encrypted with a partial code of the total code in which the blockchain constituting the transaction record and the total blocks is encrypted. This hash defines the decentralized database that is managed by many, as happens in the blockchain.


  • We can conclude that Blockchain technology works quite similarly to torrent files.
  • Strong algorithms, processors, and computers are performed through a more complex principle of work.


Blockchain capabilities


Due to its ongoing development and significant advantages, including its ability to provide a high level of safety and transparency, track the data registered through the business network, and significantly reduce costs while maintaining a high level of efficiency, blockchain technology has been able to gain the trust and credibility of the business community. The following are five advantages or key features of blockchain technology:


  • Promoting the safety factor
  • Transparency
  • Immediate tracking
  • Increase efficiency and speed
  • Make the system automatically


BLOCKCHAIN, which is the basic technology of bitcoin


Since every knot in its network is a mutual review and communicates with each other to verify that all copies are identical in all blocs, they act as a basic record for their transactions and bear the responsibility of ensuring that the real state of the records was verified and updated.


In this way, all digital currency transactions are published and validated for each individual transaction. It also tries to give decentralization in the digital currency, which gets rid of the requirements of the financial broker, such as the bank, to verify the authenticity of its transactions.
