Blockchain

Blockchain is a chain-block technology that allows secure data transmission based on an extremely complex encryption system, similar to a company’s accounting ledger, where money is closely monitored and all transactions on a peer-to-peer network are recorded.

Each block contains information about the time of creation and is linked to the previous block, along with a time code and transaction data. Once the data is accepted by the network, there is no way to change it. Blockchain is designed to prevent fraud and changes in data.

Versions of Blockchain technology

Blockchain technology 1.0 – Currency and Payment

The main application of this version is cryptocurrency: including currency conversion, remittances and creating digital payment systems. This is also the field most familiar to us, and sometimes many people mistakenly think that Bitcoin and Blockchain are one.

Blockchain 2.0 – Finance and Markets

Banking and financial processing applications: expanding the scale of Blockchain, bringing it into financial and market applications. Assets include stocks, checks, debt, ownership and anything related to agreements or contracts.

Blockchain 3.0 – Design and Monitoring

Taking Blockchain beyond the financial frontier, and into areas such as education, government, healthcare and the arts.
