What is the blockchain?
Blockchain is a decentralized database where each transaction is recorded in a block, and blocks form a chain. Unlike traditional banking systems like SEPA and SWIFT, blockchain operates without intermediaries, relying on mathematical algorithms for security and validation. Key characteristics of blockchain technology include:
Decentralization: No single entity controls the network
Transparency: All transactions are publicly visible
Immutability: Once recorded, transactions cannot be altered
Security: Protected by advanced cryptographic methods
Consensus: Network participants validate transactions
Thanks to blockchain technology, transaction data remains unchangeable and always available for verification. This makes blockchain particularly suitable for:
Financial transactions
Digital asset management
Smart contracts
Supply chain tracking
Identity verification
