Why is blockchain important?

Blockchain is a type of distributed digital ledger that can store various information related to assets and transactions. Because its records are transparent, unchangeable and secure, blockchain is an emerging method for exchanging things of value. And, because blockchain records are decentralized, no single person or entity controls them; ensuring trust between all parties.

Distributed ledgers, such as blockchain, are useful for financial transactions because they are tamper-resistant, protected by cryptography and transparent to all network participants. Blockchain technology also provides operational efficiency for recording transactions, eliminating the need for redundant records, which reduces the time and costs needed to administer them.

How do organizations implement blockchain?

Here are some questions organizations should ask before implementing blockchain technology , according to the IEEE: Does the data need to be kept private? Is verification required? Is the data likely to be hacked? Who should have access to the data? How organizations answer those questions will determine whether blockchain or a traditional database fits their needs.

Blockchain is best known as the platform for crypto assets. But companies and governments worldwide employ blockchain to buy and sell assets, manage transactions, conduct payments and track goods. According to Blockdata, 81 of the world’s top 100 public companies use blockchain.

Do all cryptocurrencies use blockchain?

The majority of cryptocurrencies are built on blockchain technology, including the best known, Bitcoin and Ethereum . Cryptocurrencies are considered digital assets that are stored and exchanged on particular blockchains. According to PwC, crypto on blockchain “disrupts traditional business models by removing the need for trusted intermediaries.”
