Blockchain
A blockchain is a decentralised database in which a record of transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency is maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network. The database is expanded chronologically in a linear fashion, comparable to a chain to which new elements are constantly added. A new block is created as soon as one is complete. Each block contains a checksum of the previous block to protect the technology from manipulation.
