Questions and Answers

What is the function of the 'hash' in a blockchain?

  • It determines the number of transactions in the block.
  • It stores the digital data in the block.
  • It serves as a unique identifier for the current block. (correct)
  • It links the current block to the next block in the chain.
  • Why is the 'previous hash' important in a blockchain?

  • It identifies the next block in the sequence.
  • It prevents unauthorized access to the blockchain.
  • It secures the current block's contents. (correct)
  • It determines the order of blocks in the chain.
  • What is the role of 'nonce' in the mining process of a block?

  • It serves as a digital signature for each block.
  • It verifies the authenticity of transactions.
  • It ensures transparency in the blockchain network.
