Transaction aggregation in a "Block":
A group of transactions is aggregated into a "Block".
Verification and encryption:
A network of computers (called nodes) verifies the validity of the transaction using mathematical algorithms and complex encryption.
Adding the block to the chain:
After verification, the block is added to the previous blocks – hence the name Blockchain.
Transparency and security:
Everyone in the network can see this block, and it cannot be modified later, preventing forgery and increasing trust.
