Blockchain Fundamentals
Overview
A blockchain is a distributed, append-only ledger where blocks of transactions are cryptographically linked. Each block contains: transactions, previous block hash, timestamp, and nonce. Consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS, BFT) ensure agreement without a central authority. Trade-off: decentralization vs performance.
When to Use
Trigger conditions:
- Evaluating whether blockchain is appropriate for a use case
- Designing systems requiring distributed trust, immutability, or transparency
- Understanding blockchain architecture for integration or development
