What Is Blockchain | AI Publishment

A blockchain is a distributed ledger with growing lists of records (blocks) that are securely linked together via cryptographic hashes, making it resistant to alteration and allowing for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof data storage and transfer. The use of blockchain technology has led to the development of new concepts, such as smart contracts and non-fungible tokens. Companies like Microsoft and IBM are exploring the use of blockchain technology to increase security, efficiency, and transparency.
