Blockchain is a digital system that records information in secure, linked blocks that are difficult to change or hack.
It stores data in blocks that are connected in a chain, and every transaction is verified by a network of computers.
It is used in cryptocurrencies, supply chain tracking, healthcare data, finance, and digital identity systems.
Yes, it is highly secure because data is encrypted and distributed across many computers, making tampering very difficult.
Basic understanding is enough to start. However, deeper knowledge of coding and networks helps for advanced topics.
