WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
 Technically, A blockchain is a distributed database that
maintains a continuously growing list of records called blocks,
which are linked and secured using crptography.
 Business-wise, the blockchain is an exchange network for
moving transactions, value, assets between peers, without
the assistance of intermediaries.

HISTORY
 The first blockchain was conceptualized by a person known
as Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.
 Through the use of a blockchain, bitcoin became the first
digital currency to solve the double spending problem
without requiring a trusted authority where it serves as the
public ledger for all transactions on the network.

 The blockchain data structure is an ordered, back-
linked list of blocks of transactions.
 Transaction data is permanently recorded in files called
blocks.
 Every block contains data, hash (or unique key) and a
hash of the previous block.
 New transactions are constantly being processes by
miners into new blocks which are added to the end of
the chain and can never be changed or removed once
accepted by the network.

 When an individual intends to send money (bitcoins) to
anyone, he sort of announces the transaction to the entire
network.
 These transactions are validated by the nodes on the
network, called miners, based on some of the math born in
cryptography.
 When a miner is successful in solving the math puzzle and
creating a new block, all the nodes in the network verify the
block and add it to their chains. Miners also get monetary
rewards for solving the puzzle

BLOCKCHAIN MINING & PROOF OF WORK
 Mining is the process of validating new transactions and record them on
the global ledger ( blockchain ).
 Miners compete to solve a difficult mathematical problem based on a
cryptographic hash algorithm. The solution found is called the Proof-Of-
Work.
 This proof proves that a miner did spend a lot of time and resources to
solve the problem.
 Mining a block is difficult because the hash of a block's header must be
lower than or equal to the target in order for the block to be accepted by
the network.

MAIN TECHNOLGIES BEHIND BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain is said to be a clever
combination of existing technologies:
 Private key crptography
 P2P network
 Blockchain program (or Blockchain’s
protocol)

Private Key Cryptography
 It involves two different keys, i.e private key and public key.
 Let A and B be two users who want to make a transaction. Each of them
holds two important keys. A private key and a public key.
 The main purpose of this keys is to create a secure digital identity
reference. This identity is based on the possession of these two keys,
which together create what we call “digital signature”.This is called as
Asymmetric encryption.
 This signature acts as our personal signatures which we use to sign
contracts for example. No one else has this signature, the combination of
these two cryptographic keys is unique, and hence, our security is
enhanced. In fact, there are not two equal keys in the whole blockchain.
13

P2P NETWORK
 P2P stands for peer-to-peer. In the context of a
computing, a peer-to-peer, or P2P, system is a
network of interconnected computers that does not
rely on a central party to facilitate interaction.
 No central point of storage means there is no need
for a dominant authority and therefore no single
party can control and use the network .
 This means that the larger the network is, the more
secure it becomes.

BLOCKCHAIN PROGRAM (OR PROTOCOL)
Network servicing protocol:-
 A specific set of rules that nodes on the network will ensure
a block follows when validating that block and the
transactions within it.
 Blockchain is a concept and can be implemented by any
language. Solidity is the most preferred default for writing
programs in blockchain.
15

TYPES OF BLOCKCHAIN
1. PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN
 Public blockchain have ledgers visible to everyone on
the internet and anyone can verify and add a block of
transactions to the blockchain.
 All users maintain a copy of the ledger on their local
nodes.
 Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dodgecoin, etc.

2.PRIVATE BLOCKCHAIN
 Private Blockchain allows only specific people in the
organization to verify and add transaction blocks but
everyone on the internet is generally allowed to
view.
 Transactions are faster, since they only need to be
verified by a few nodes.
 Examples: MONAX, Multichain.

3.CONSORTIUM BLOCKCHAIN
 Here, only group of organizations (such as banks) can
verify and add transactions but the ledger can be
open or restricted to selected groups.
 Consortium Blockchains are faster (higher scalability)
and provide more transaction privacy.
 Example: R3 (Banks), EWF (Energy), B3i
(Insurance), Corda.
18

BLOCKCHAIN USE CASES
1. BANKING:-
 Hacking into banking ledgers becomes close to impossible.
 Blockchain solves the Double spending problem.
2. PAYMENT AND TRANSFERS:-
 Blockchain tranfers are the highest in terms of security.
 Anonymity is maintained.

3.VOTING
 Blockchain can be the medium for casting, tracking
and counting votes without voter-fraud,lost
records or fowl-play.
 Thus, Increases voter turn out.
Others blockchain use cases can be in health care,
Law Enforcement and Real estate.

ADVANTAGES OF BLOCKCHAIN
 Security
 Transparency
 Decentralization
 Applications in various sectors
21

HOW BLOCKCHAIN IS SECURE
 By storing financial information across a network of computers, the
task of compromising data becomes much more difficult for hackers.
 Instead of having to breach just one server, falsifying a balance or
making a fraudulent transaction on a blockchain can only be achieved
if the majority of the network is compromised.
 Being able to compromise enough servers to falsify records on the
blockchain is practically impossible, especially as hackers would need
to breach each node simultaneously.
 The high level of security afforded by distributed ledger system makes
them particularly attractive to financial institutions.
22

DISADVANTAGES OF BLOCKCHAIN
 Speed of transaction
 Large energy consumption
 Transaction is irreversible and immutable
 Blockchain concept is complex and difficult to
implement.
 Many people are currently employed in institutions that
serves as intermediaries, so there will certainly be a lot
of resistance to it.
23

TANGLE-NEXT GENERATION BLOCKCHAIN
 Tangle is a public distributed ledger that stores
transactions in a directed acyclic graph (DAG)
structure.
 Transactions are linked to each other like a big
web tangle.
 As Tangle grows and more users make
transactions, the entire system becomes faster
and more secure.
24

DIFFERENCE
BLOCKCHAIN
 It requires miners to validate
the transactions.
 Miners take some rewards or
transaction fees for mining.
 Speed of transaction is slow.
TANGLE
 It does not require miners.
 There is no transaction fees in
it.
 Speed of transaction is more
than blockchain.
25

CONCLUSION
 There seems to be a great potential in Blockchain that it
can make a big change in life.
 Since it is not well known, nor a mature thing yet,
everyone is trying to see what can be done with it.
 Blockchain will be a big revolution in the field of
technology if it can able to handle some of its demerits.
