A blockchain is a shared and immutable ledger that records transactions between parties. It uses cryptography to secure and authenticate data, and transactions are validated by a consensus of nodes in the network. Blockchain technology offers increased privacy, data protection, and ownership compared to traditional systems, making it a popular solution for addressing data breaches and privacy concerns.
