What is blockchain technology and why is it relevant
Blockchain is a system that records transactions of some types of information – digital assets – by its users using the internet. It is like a ledger that can be accessed by all network participants. The word blockchain can be translated into Portuguese as “chain of blocks”. Each transaction is recorded as a “block” of data, capable of containing any necessary information. This block is securely connected to a chain of blocks, through encryption, and gains a permanent record on the network, a code made up of letters and numbers.
This large database is decentralized, that is, it is not under the control of any entity. What gives security and credibility to blockchain technology is the fact that your information is stored on several servers connected to each other and scattered around the world, which validate and approve transactions quickly and autonomously, through consensus mechanisms. These records are immutable, meaning no network participant can change or tamper with a transaction once it is added to the shared ledger.
