In this piece, we will look at what blockchain tech is. We will also see how it will impact the future of web design.
What is Blockchain and What’s the Deal With It?
Blockchain is a fresh upheaval in decentralized data storage. It uses cryptography to store data in discrete blocks. These blocks, once full, are linked to a chain of other blocks called a blockchain.
Now, the genius of blockchain is that it is not centralized. Instead, all the data is spread throughout a whole network of nodes or users. This way, no one node can change the data in the shared database without being exposed. The whole network must vet all new data before it can be added to a block. And once added, you can’t change the block data.
This tech has had a great impact in sectors from business to production. Some claim that it may
