Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant data exchange without centralized control. This book provides a technical exploration of blockchain architecture, cryptographic foundations, consensus mechanisms, and smart contract execution. Readers will gain a structured understanding of how blocks are formed, validated, and linked; how decentralization is achieved in permissioned and permissionless networks; and how blockchain systems are implemented across real-world use cases. Designed for engineers, researchers, and technology professionals, this book bridges theory and practice to explain the systems powering modern decentralized platforms.
