Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. It allows digital information to be recorded and distributed, but not copied. This makes blockchain secure and transparent. Blockchain uses cryptography to let users make transactions securely without needing central oversight. It has the potential to disrupt many industries by replacing intermediaries and cutting costs of transactions. Examples include financial services, digital asset transfers, and smart contracts that self-execute based on predefined rules and conditions.

4. What is a Blockchain ?
A ledger (database) that maintains a
continuously growing list of secure
transactions (data records)
5. In more detail
Blockchains are ledgers (like Excel spreadsheets) but they accept inputs from
lots of different parties (groups). The ledger can only be changed when there
is a consensus among the group. This makes them more secure, and it means
there's no need for a central authority to approve transactions.
7. Can’t cheat it
and secure
Anyone can verify that you’ve placed that
information because the container has your
signature on it, but only you (or a program)
can unlock what’s inside the container
because only you hold the private keys to that
data. Securely.
8. Smart
Contract
A smart contract is equivalent to a
little program that you can entrust
with a unit of value (as a token or
money) and rules around that value.
9. Currently - Centralised Transactions
Each institution maintains its own secure ledger and
operates via a clearing house.
Transaction begins in an institution on their ledger
(database) -> to the clearinghouse and translated
onto their ledger and, once cleared, sent on to the
recipient and then translated onto their ledger.
You now have multiple incompatible versions of the
truth.

10. Blockchain - Distributed transactions
Each institution is bound together via the distributed
ledger (database) The starting point that you assume when applying
smart contracts is that third-party intermediaries are not needed in order to
conduct transactions between two (or several) parties.,
The parties define and agree on simple (or complex) rules, and
they embed them inside the transactions, enabling an end-to-
end resolution to be self-managed between computers that
represent the interests of the users. Smart properties are
digital assets (or things) that know who their owners are.

11. Transaction
● Transactions are grouped together in a block. The chain is multiple
blocks linked together.
● Blocks are numbered in ascending order starting at zero
● Arrows go from newer to older blocks.
● Blocks represent a set of events that occurred over a period of time
(since the last block).

12. Blockchain Technology is adaptable to a wide range of transactions including:
● Effectuating transfers of digital assets
● Transactions in securities and derivatives
● Recording sales of physical assets, such as tangible personal property and real property.
Blockchain also makes possible the use of so-called “smart contracts,” i.e., contracts embedded in
computer code that can implement themselves automatically upon the occurrence of discrete
events.
Smart contracts examples:
● Automating rent payments in leases where rent is a function of revenue;
● Automatic coupon payments based on the calendar day;
● Automating royalty payments when payments are based on the number of seats currently in
use for a software license;
● Automating advertising payments for web clicks.
Blockchain Technology promises to automate many of the existing labor-intensive processes
required to settle financial transactions, thereby increasing the speed at which such transactions
can be conducted and lowering transaction costs. For example, manual processes of recording
transactions in databases may be replaced with automated recording of transactions in the
Blockchain ledger.
13. Blockchain technology could eliminate that
clearinghouse by giving each bank in the network its
own copy of the ledger. A common network protocol
and consensus mechanism would allow the
participants to communicate with one another.
Using this method, transactions could be approved
automatically in seconds or minutes, significantly
cutting costs and boosting efficiency.
A good example is in
financial services, where trades
are often verified by a central
clearinghouse that maintains its
own central ledger.
Using that process, it can take
days to settle a transaction, and
the clearinghouse typically
collects some kind of fee.
14. Costs
● Development
● Usage costs (3rd party provider)
○ Cost / node (server) $0 - $50 per month
○ Transaction charge varies
15. How are transaction costs calculated
On the chart overview page you find the description "Cost per Transaction: A chart showing miners revenue divided
by the number of transactions.".
Meaning that it’s the total value of the block reward divided by the number of transactions confirmed in that block’s
network
Here is an example with made up numbers: (BTC=bitcoin)
● Block reward is 25 BTC + 0.1 BTC in transaction fees.
● There are 502 transactions in the block.
● Current exchange rate is 367.3 USD/BTC.
25.1 BTC / 502 transactions = 0.05 BTC per transaction
367.30 USD/BTC * 0.05 BTC per transaction = $18.37 per transaction
