Blockchain innovation is here and there alluded to as the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). It is generally a record where records are orchestrated as squares with cryptographic approval. This implies that they are connected with security highlights and layers that interface the squares.
The ubiquity of blockchain innovation has been obvious because of the issues including exchanges and even administration of representatives in associations. This innovation is autonomous and empowers lasting data sets to coincide inside given areas. It can likewise be divided between networks. At first, this innovation was viewed as convoluted and has security challenges (Ferguson, 2018). In any case, it has demonstrated in any case as it has been gainful for different errands. Bitcoin, for example, gives better security, and the disseminated idea of the cryptographic money guarantees that control is practically inconceivable. The unchanging nature capacity is sealed and gives better security conventions. Digital assaults are regular when utilizing innovation, and blockchain innovation can address a portion of the difficulties confronted (Tapscott and Tapscott, 2017).
Blockchain innovation likewise killed outsider administrations during exchanges. The installment frameworks are proficient on the grounds that banks and in any event, clearing distribution centers that used to be go-betweens are eliminated. This is savvy for individuals making exchanges (Bashir, 2017). The innovation of brilliant agreements has improved the dimensionality of exchanges secured on trust. The handling of installments is quicker and furthermore less expensive hence empowering organizations to contend well on the lookout (Ferguson, 2018). Associations have been utilizing keen agreements to decentralize tasks. This shows that blockchain is in the advanced period and the development of cycles.

Block chain is a technology that became widely popular since the induction of cryptocurrencies. It is a distributed technology that allows for a control over financial system irrespective of the location eliminating the middleman like banks. In simple words, it can be said that transaction occurring between 2 or more individuals located globally eliminating bank as the middleman. As the name blockchain suggests, its literally series of blocks with information connected by a chain. The way blockchain works is like a group of individuals working to resolve a Rubik's cube individually. The first to win gets a prize. The blockchain technology is specifically used in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, Ethereum and many others. The prize is bitcoin, and the process is called mining. The more complex it is to resolve the Rubik's cube, the higher is the reward. The transactions among individuals are protected using an encryption algorithm like SHA256. When an individual wants to perform a transaction, the transaction is shared with everyone playing that solve the Rubik's cube. The individual who identifies the right transaction with the transaction ID gets the prize. The blockchain technology is so important because the data(transactions) logged are immutable. Once the data is logged, it cannot be changed. Due to the encryption technique, it is secure, and the authenticity of the transaction is verified by all its participants. The transactions are real time and immediate which updates the ledger automatically. These benefits make the blockchain technology more popular and important and could be put to best to use in almost all industries.
