What does 'immutable' mean in blockchain?

Immutability in blockchain means that once data is added to the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted. This makes blockchain secure and reliable, as changes can be tracked and verified.

What's a node's role in a blockchain network?

A node is a computer that stores a copy of the blockchain and participates in the network by verifying and adding new transactions. They act like individual records of the blockchain's history.

What is a public blockchain?

A public blockchain is open to everyone to participate and join. Anyone can access and view the data, and anyone can become a node on the network. Examples include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

What is Proof of Work (PoW)?

Proof of Work (PoW) is a consensus algorithm that uses computational power to verify transactions. Nodes solve complex mathematical problems to add new blocks to the blockchain. The first node to solve the problem receives a reward.
