What is blockchain for business?

David Smits

Abstract

What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a shared, replicated ledger that underpins technology such as Bitcoin. Blockchain's reach is wider than cryptocurrency however, as it sets out to provide the foundation for a new generation of transactional applications that establish trust and transparency.

"Blockchain Explained" is a high-level introduction to blockchain concepts and business value, and will give you the full story on blockchain for the enterprise. It's the first step in the "Explained" series.
