What is the Blockchain? - Understanding Blockchain Technology & Crypto

Blockchain is the technology behind cryptocurrency. It's a shared database that stores data on blocks linked together, distributed across a peer-to-peer network. This makes transactions secure, transparent, and immutable. At Kfc-team, we use blockchain technology for secure cryptocurrency transactions, enhanced by our partnerships with Coinbase and Blockchain.com. Learn more about Bitcoin and Ethereum, the most popular blockchain-based cryptocurrencies.

What is a Blockchain?

A blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions in blocks linked together cryptographically. Each block contains transaction data, and once added, it cannot be altered.

Key Characteristics:

• Cryptographically Secure: Uses cryptographic keys for security
• Digital: Fully digital, accessed via internet
• Shared Network: Distributed across multiple computers
• Immutable: Once recorded, cannot be changed

How Does Blockchain Work?

Process:

1. Transaction initiated (e.g., sending crypto)
2. Transaction broadcast to network
3. Network validates transaction
4. Transaction added to a block
5. Block added to blockchain
6. Transaction confirmed and immutable

Key Features:

• Distributed across all network computers
• Each copy must match for validity
• No central authority needed
• Transparent and verifiable

Consensus Mechanisms

Proof of Work (PoW)

Used by: Bitcoin

How It Works:

• Miners compete to solve cryptographic puzzles
• First to solve adds the block
• Receives block reward
• Requires significant computing power

Characteristics:

• High security
• Energy-intensive
• Slower transactions
• Established and proven

Proof of Stake (PoS)

Used by: Ethereum (after The Merge)

How It Works:

• Validators stake cryptocurrency
• Random selection of validators
• Validators verify and add blocks
• Rewards for validators

Characteristics:

• Energy efficient
• Faster transactions
• Lower barriers to entry
• Staking rewards
