Blockchain technologies are possibly going to become the fundamental building blocks for next-generation applications. The Blockchain is primarily a chain of data blocks with each block containing a transaction. Each transaction block has in it a header with information on the previous block, anyone who has all the blocks can arrange it and reconstruct the entire Blockchain.

The Blockchain is primarily a chain of data blocks with each block containing a transaction. Each transaction block has in it a header with information on the previous block, anyone who has all the blocks can arrange it and reconstruct the entire Blockchain. The complete Blockchain is available only when all the participants are on the network. These participants should have a unique identity (Private Key) and can participate in any Blockchain network (there are no authorities or regulators to give a single identity). All participants run software that implements the Blockchain protocol.
Blockchain as a technology operates on two fundamental concepts, i.e., Distributed Ledger and Smart Contracts. Distributed Ledgers are used to store data while Smart Contracts are the governance mechanism for the Blockchain Network. Bitcoins are generated when processing power is consumed to verify and update a transaction onto the Blockchain database.
