The blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and platforms such as Ethereum. It provides a way to capture and transfer data that is transparent, secure, auditable, and resilient to failure. The blockchain has the ability to make the organizations that use it transparent, democratic, decentralized, efficient and secure. It is a technology that holds great promise for the future, and is already disrupting many industries.
