| For developers, blockchain offers tools and encryption techniques for secure, distributed data storage. In business and finance, it enables decentralized transaction tracking without central authorities. Tech enthusiasts see it as a driver of the Internet's future, while others view it as a transformative tool for decentralizing control in society and the economy. | For developers, blockchain offers tools and encryption techniques for secure, distributed data storage.

| At its core, blockchain is a secure, distributed database powered by cryptography and distributed computing. Originating from Satoshi Nakamoto's innovative design, it enables global networks of computers to maintain a shared, tamper-resistant ledger. By fostering trust through technology rather than institutions, blockchain facilitates direct, secure collaboration, paving the way for new forms of global cooperation without reliance on traditional central entities. | At its core, blockchain is a secure, distributed database powered by cryptography and distributed computing.
