Blockchain technology is a distributed database, all replicas of which are regularly updated to add information about new transactions. Every time a transaction occurs, it is encrypted in a block, which is then sent out to all network users. Each block has a time stamp and a reference to the previous block, which allows for establishing a sequence of transactions. The data is therefore transparent and very difficult to change, which makes it a helpful security solution for any distribution or transaction processes.

Blockchain is often regarded as an "anti-establishment" innovation associated with digital currencies, such as bitcoin, which rely on the technology.

Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, saw a meteoric rise in 2017, from below $1,000 at the beginning of the year to a historic threshold of $20,000 earlier in December.
