It is at its basics a ledger that is shared among all the nodes (users) on the blockchain network. New transactions are authenticated by the nodes (one of the uses of crypto miners) and then recorded at the current block height of the network, the block height is the number of the block in which the transaction is recorded on the chain. These transactions are always visible and cannot be modified in any way, which makes fraud impossible. It is also possible to trace back every token that was transferred to its origin, so we can know where they are sent and where they came from. There are many practical applications to the blockchain technology other than cryptocurrencies, like smart contracts, data storage, credit information, security and many others.Nowadays, there are many cryptocurrencies based on the blockchain technology, as it is an easy and secure way to transfer money.
