When most people hear the word “blockchain,” they immediately think of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, the history of this technology is much broader. Blockchain is a special method of storing information as a chain of blocks, where each block contains data and is linked to the previous one through a complex mathematical code. This makes the system transparent, protected from alterations and fraud. It is important to understand that blockchain itself is not a currency but a tool for reliably storing and transferring information.
