Blockchain Technology Spider Diagram
Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed digital ledger that operates across multiple systems. Eight fundamental concepts define its architecture and function:
Core Concepts
01 — Decentralized Ledger Shared records synchronized across multiple computers, providing transparency and replication without central control.
02 — Blocks & Transactions Transactions grouped into blocks, each cryptographically linked to the previous block, forming an immutable chain.
03 — Cryptographic Hashing Data converted to fixed-length fingerprints (SHA-256) ensuring integrity and detecting tampering.
04 — Consensus Mechanisms Network participants validate transactions collectively through Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, eliminating central authority.
05 — Decentralized Network Nodes distribute and share information peer-to-peer across a distributed architecture.
06 — Smart Contracts Self-executing programs that automatically trigger actions when predefined conditions are met.
07 — Digital Wallets & Keys Public keys identify transaction destinations; private keys authorize and sign transactions.
08 — Security & Immutability Cryptography and consensus mechanisms make confirmed records extremely tamper-resistant.
