Learn Stories of Makers
Blockchain, for many, sounds like a buzzword that has been making waves not just in the financial world but also in the realm of social good. You might know it as the technology behind cryptocurrencies, but blockchain's potential goes way beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. It's the superhero of the digital age, swooping in to save the day for social impact initiatives around the world.
But, what is blockchain in the first place?
Blockchain technology is defined (by Blockgeeks.com) as ‘a time-stamped series of immutable records of data that are managed by a cluster of computers not owned by any single entity.
The blockchain network has no central authority – it is the very definition of a democratized system. Since it is a shared and immutable ledger, the information in it is open for anyone and everyone to see.
Types of Blockchain
- Public blockchain: A public, or permission-less, blockchain network is where anyone can participate without restrictions.
- Permissioned or private blockchain: A private, or permissioned, blockchain allows organizations to set controls on who can access blockchain data.
- Federated or consortium blockchain: A blockchain network where the consensus process (mining process) is closely controlled by a preselected set of nodes or by a preselected number of stakeholders.
