BLOCKCHAIN AT NC STATE

blockchain?
Blockchain is a digital ledger distributed across a network of computers, ensuring no single point of control. Transactions are recorded in a way that is transparent to all participants and highly resistant to tampering or fraud. Data is grouped into “blocks.” Each block is linked to the previous one, forming a secure, chronological “chain.” Once information is added to the blockchain, it cannot be changed without altering every subsequent block and gaining approval from the network.
