Blockchain is basically a ledger of recorded financial transactions. This ledger is distributed, published, and stored in multiple locations. Blockchain is a decentralized record-keeping system that documents all transactions that happened on it. It facilitates safe, easy transactions, and builds trust between trading partners.
