Abstract

Block chain and distributed ledger technologies have the potential to revolutionize the economy, and this research gives an overview of the technology's fundamentals. The history of this technology may be traced all the way back to the Bitcoin electronic currency system. By emphasizing potentials but also shortcomings, restrictions, and hazards, Block chain and distributed ledger technology may be used in different industries. Block chain has both advantages and problems, and we'll be looking at how we can improve it so that the economy benefits from it in the long run. There are numerous new opportunities for businesses in which prices are frequently directly transferred between participants over the internet in the same straightforward manner in which we tend to pay with cash while driving and in the same convenient manner in which we tend to use instant electronic communication. The block chain technology is primarily classified as a subset of the larger family of distributed ledger technologies, which includes all strategies for redistributed data sharing in situations where replicated and synchronic digital information is distributed across multiple sites, countries, or establishments.
