Technology is an ever-changing and evolving phenomenon and businesses are learning to always be at pace with it. The hype caused by the blockchain crypto currency died down with the Augmented Reality and Machine Learning puffery, but the blockchain technology has to offer much beyond bitcoin.
What is Blockchain?
Blockchain technology is a decentralized shared system of keeping records where information is kept in the form of blocks that can’t be tampered. This results in the creation of a transparent and secure database. The data stored with blockchain can be any from transactions to medical records and the blockchain technology is soon thought to replace the conventional ticketing system.
Blockchain became famous due to its application in financial sectors as secure currency mining with crypto money like bitcoin. The phenomenon yet, runs on a simple and unique mechanism. The blockchains store data across ‘blocks’ rather than a central server where new data adds up in the form of chain after the computer solves the cryptographic key. The blockchain information is thus secure and can’t be altered.
The technology gained fame with its secure digital currency and now is seen as a way to invest smart and secure information.

So far, a wide range of companies have created secure processes eliminating any unethical practices with blockchain.
