NUMA STARTUP WINDOW – BLOCKCHAIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY 21 December, Bengaluru

A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. Blockchain technology is often compared to the internet in its use, strength and durability. Attributing to the comparability and the success of internet together, the tech world is fervent and optimistic about the future and the success of the Blockchain technology.

The technology is fairly transparent and incorruptible on account of its vastness and the absence of a controller or central database. Transactions are grouped in blocks, recorded one after the other in a chain of blocks which constitute the Blockchain. The links between blocks and their content are protected by cryptography and this prevents the former transactions from being destroyed or forged. Therefore, the ledger and the transaction network can be trusted without the presence of a central authority – a ‘middleman’.

Blockchain is extensively used in expediting and simplifying cross – border payments, share trading, smart contracts and improvement of digital identity.

Additionally, there are major uses of Blockchain in tracking digital art, storing rights data for copyrights, tracking valuable merchandise and even storing data on dynamic transaction data.

We believe that Blockchain as a technology has the potential to add more value to any field of work in the ecosystem .
