On November 19, join C# Corner Noida Chapter for a Workshop on Blockchain Technology.
Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger technology that records transactions across multiple computers in a secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant way. Each "block" contains a list of transactions, and these blocks are linked together to form a "chain." Once a block is added, its data is permanent and cannot be altered without consensus from the network.
Originally designed for Bitcoin, blockchain now powers applications across finance, healthcare, supply chain, and more, enabling trustless systems, transparency, and efficiency without relying on centralized authorities.
