Study Notes

Blockchain Basics

A blockchain is a distributed ledger.
It maintains a continuously growing list of ordered records called "blocks."
Blocks are linked using cryptography.
Each block contains:
- A cryptographic hash of the previous block.
- A timestamp.
- Transaction data (often in a Merkle tree structure).
Blocks link sequentially, forming an unalterable chain.
Transactions are recorded and irreversible once added.
Cryptographic hashes are vital to the immutability of the blockchain.

Blockchain Blocks, Transactions, and the Chain

A block is like a digital container holding transaction data.
Each block includes:
- Transaction data.
- A timestamp.
- A hash of the previous block (linking blocks).
- A nonce (a random number).
A transaction is a bundle of information permanently stored on a blockchain.
Transactions can involve:
- Value transfers (e.g., cryptocurrency).
- Data updates on the blockchain.
- Messages between addresses.

The Blockchain Chain

Blocks are linked chronologically.
The cryptographic hash of the previous block ensures integrity.
This structure makes transactions permanent and immutable on the blockchain.
Includes smart contract deployment and interactions.
