  • Immutable transaction records.
  • Cryptographic security.
  • Consensus mechanisms validate transactions.
  • Supports decentralized applications.
Note
Blockchain is useful beyond cryptocurrencies, including supply chain management, healthcare, and digital identity.
Summary
Blockchain improves trust, transparency, and traceability in digital transactions.
