Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed database system that securely records transactions across a network of computers. Once data is recorded, it cannot be changed or altered.
It's maintained through cryptographic hashing and encryption techniques, making it highly resistant to fraud and cyberattacks. Since no single entity controls the network, there is a reduced risk of manipulation. It also allows for public verification of transactions.
There is a growing demand for expertise in blockchain as companies across a variety of industries are integrating the technology. Gaining a strong understanding of blockchain now means staying ahead of the curve as industries shift toward more secure, efficient, systems interested in shifting towards decentralized practices.
