Course description

Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that securely records transactions across many computers. It ensures data integrity, transparency, and security by using cryptographic techniques and consensus mechanisms. There are various types of blockchains, including public, private, consortium, and hybrid, each offering different benefits. Unlike traditional databases, blockchain is decentralized, immutable, and transparent, making it ideal for applications like finance, supply chain, and digital identities. Its potential to eliminate intermediaries and reduce transaction costs could revolutionize many industries.
