BlockChain is a Decentralized Ledger System that creates a permanent (Immutable) and shared registry of every transaction, associated with any type of Asset (Tangible & Intangible). Every Transaction is Time Stamped, put into a Block and is appended to the Block before it. Due to the decentralized nature, data inside a Block is validated and appended by a common Consensus achieved by all (or some) of the participating parties, which makes the record Trustworthy, Transparent and Secure.
BLOCKCHAIN is a phenomenon which shifts focus from the periphery to the center of a business network
