A blockchain is a set of protocols and cryptographic methods that enable a network of computers to work together to securely record data within a shared open database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This database consists of a series of encrypted blocks which contains the data. The blockchain is a continuously growing list of these blocks of data which are linked and secured using cryptography. This makes it a trusted database with this trust maintained by open secure computer code and encryption instead of any single institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data (generally represented as a Merkle tree). The timestamp proves that the transaction data existed when the block was published in order to get into its hash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Information<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li><a aria-label=\"Blockchain Technology Explained (2 Hour Course) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qOVAbKKSH10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Blockchain Technology Explained (2 Hour Course)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"gtech-end-cont\" id=\"gtech-1224028463\"><div style=\"margin-right: auto;margin-left: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"gtech-1419205951\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/linkout\/75343\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"notrack\" aria-label=\"jesdphis\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/media\/2025\/08\/jesdphis.avif\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/media\/2025\/08\/jesdphis.avif 1179w, https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/media\/2025\/08\/jesdphis-768x950.avif 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A blockchain is a set of protocols and cryptographic methods that enable a network of computers to work together to securely record data within a shared open database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12423,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[131,457],"class_list":["post-12422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet","tag-blockchain","tag-network"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
