How Blockchain Works

  • Transactions are grouped into blocks and verified by network nodes through consensus algorithms.
  • Once verified, blocks are added to the chain in a linear, chronological order, ensuring immutability.
  • Public blockchains are transparent, while private blockchains restrict access to authorized participants.
