What is Blockchain Technology?

 

DefiningBlockchain Technology


Blockchain is a backlinked, decentralized, and distributed database of encrypted records. It’s a data structure where each block is linked to another block in a time-stamped chronological order. It’s an append-only transactional database, not a replacement to the conventional databases. Every node keeps a copy of all the transactions that happened in the past which are secured cryptographically. 


  • All information once stored on the ledger is verifiable and auditable but not editable


  • Highly fault-tolerant as there is no Single-point-of-failure


Benefits of Blockchain


The blockchain is nothing short of a game-changing technology for anyone who chooses to use and master it. Let’s see the benefits of blockchain:


  • Transparency
  • Security
  • Efficiency
  • Traceability
  • Auditability
  • Cost Reduction


Almost all the sectors out there can benefit from the blockchain. Out of all the sectors out there, the four sectors that we think benefit the most include Energy, Real Estate, Logistics, Healthcare, Finance, and Government.


There are already many companies using blockchain technology actively after realizing the potential of this tech. To get a glimpse of exactly how different industries are taking advantage of blockchain, let’s briefly go through each one of them.


Types of blockchain networks


There are several ways to build a blockchain network. They can be:


  • Public blockchain networks
  • Private blockchain networks
  • Permission blockchain networks
  • Consortium blockchain


The Way Ahead: Some Predictions for Blockchain


The future looks bright for blockchain. Here are a few promising applications of the technology


  • DLT-based governments


The Distributed Ledger Technology is not a fad. Dubai has gone all in to replace all government systems with the ones backed up by DLT. The transition from a paper-based system to DLT seems the logical next thing for government institutions.


  • A collaboration of blockchains


While there may be different blockchain networks operating in a single organization, aimed toward different business purposes, actual benefits for the customer can only be realized when these networks can be made to collaborate in an open standard.


  • Transparency for industries


Blockchain promises that all transactions are for everyone to view and that any change can only be made when it is verified by all nodes in a network. Therefore, blockchain will help industries introduce transparency in operations- at the least.


As blockchain rises far and above our perceived challenges, it will be put together with the Internet of Things to create trust between parties, reduce the risk of tampering, lower costs by removing intermediaries, and accelerate the pace of settlements from days to almost instantaneous.

This process comprises of STO solutions that we provide. We...

Smart contract in Blockchain

A technology that will change the way you trust through an automated contract management system. A smart contract is an agreement between two parties in the form of computer code. They run on the blockchain, so they are stored on a public database and cannot be changed. The transactions that happen in a smart contract processed by the blockchain means they can be sent automatically without a third party. In 1994, Nick Szabo (a cryptographer), came up with the idea of being able to record contracts in the form of computer code. This contract would be activated automatically when certain conditions are met. This idea could potentially remove the need for trusted third-party companies (such as banks). But why? The answer is simple — because you no longer need a trusted third party when you make a transaction. Instead, the contracts (or transactions) are self-executed on a trusted network that is completely controlled by computers. Cool idea, right? Szabo worked on this idea for many y...
