Blockchain technology is seen as "The New Internet" by businessmen and entrepreneurs. It is a secure way for transaction. Also for career aspirants, it is an important career option too. Many job roles for blockchain professionals will open such as developers, designers and project managers. These jobs will be in high demand in future.
Blockchain allows digital information to be distributed but not copied. Information exists as a shared and a continuously reconciled database. This type of network gives various benefits. The blockchain database is not stored in any single location. The records it keeps are truly public and easily verifiable. Since there is no centralized version of this information , a hacker simply cannot corrupt it. The data is hosted by millions of computers simultaneously and anyone can access it on internet.
Blockchain stores blocks of information that are identical across its network. So it cannot be controlled by any single entity and therefore has no single point of failure. It is a type of self-auditing ecosystem of a digital value. Its network reconciles every transaction that happens in ten-minute intervals. Each group of these transactions is referred to as a “block”. This imparts it 2 properties
- Embedding of transparent data in the public network.
- Incorruptibility of data as alteration of information on the blockchain is not possible
Blockchain technology imparts a new layer of functionality to the web.
