Blockchain has long since ceased to be merely a technology for Bitcoin. Today, it is used in finance, logistics, digital identification, the Internet of Things, the energy sector, and government systems. This book explains in simple terms how blockchain works, why cryptography and consensus are necessary, how public, private, consortium, and hybrid networks, how smart contracts and applications are created, and what challenges blockchain still needs to overcome.
