Abstract

A blockchain is a decentralized peer to peer data sharing mechanism that enables fast and trusted transactions between users on Internet by using cryptographic techniques. This new technology can be used for data control and doing transactions, secure payment and smart contracts, and much more. The aim of this paper is to explain the main concepts of blockchains. Also we give a comparative study of three well-known emerging technologies which are: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Hyperledger.
