Blockchain

A blockchain is an append-only ledger of blocks linked together by cryptographic hashes, replicated across many machines that run the same consensus rules. Once a block is finalized, its content cannot be silently changed without invalidating every block that came after it. This makes blockchains useful for state that needs to be shared, ordered, and tamper-evident — currencies, registries, smart contract state.
