A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. Blockchains are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions. The innovation of a blockchain is that it guarantees the fidelity and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party. Furthermore, one of the key differences in a typical database and a blockchain is that blockchain contains more structured data as compared to the typical database. In addition to this, various companies across the globe are adopting blockchain for improving the security of the system and to reduce fraudulent activities in the organization. Moreover, blockchain provides various key benefits which include increasing the transparency of the data, reducing the operating cost, and improving the efficiency of the organization.
