The Benefits of Blockchain in Web3.
Blockchain technology is a new way that allows data to be stored in a secure, transparent manner, with no single entity having control over it. It is referred to as "a chain of data blocks."
How Blockchain Works:
1. Data comes in small groups (blocks).
2. Each block contains:
Data (like transactions)
A unique identifier (hash)
The identifier of the previous block
3. The subsequent block is linked to the previous one like a chain.
4. This prevents changes to the data that has already been recorded, because any change would affect the entire chain.
Key Features of Blockchain:
Decentralized: Everyone has a copy of their data, and no single company or government has sole control over it.
Transparent: Anyone can see everything that happens within the blockchain.
Secure: Multiple parties must agree to a change before it is executed.
Immutable: Once something is recorded, it cannot be deleted or altered.
Example:
If Aisha sends Musa 100 Naira through blockchain technology, this transaction will enter a block, be added to the chain, and cannot be changed.
