People sometimes use the terms 'Blockchain' and 'Distributed
Ledgers' interchangeably. This post aims to analyze each other's features.
Distributed Ledger
Technology
Distributed ledgers are databases that are spread across
multiple nodes or computing devices. Each node replicates and stores an
identical copy of the ledger. Each participant node from the network updates
itself independently.
A breakthrough feature of distributed ledger technology is
that ledgers are not managed by the central authority. Updates to the ledger
are independently built and recorded by each node. The node then votes on this
update to ensure that the majority agrees with the conclusions reached. Voting
and agreement on one copy of the ledger is called consensus, and is done
automatically by the consensus algorithm. After consensus has been reached, the
distributed ledger will update itself and the latest version of the ledger is
stored in each node separately.
The general ledger technology that was distributed
dramatically reduced the cost of trust. The architecture and structure of the
distributed ledgers can help us reduce our dependence on banks, governments,
lawyers, notaries, and regulatory compliance officials. R3 Corda is an example
of a distributed ledger.
The big book that is distributed presents a new paradigm of
how information is collected and communicated and is ready to revolutionize
the way individuals, companies and governments transact.
Blockchain technology
Blockchains are a form of distributed ledger technology. Not
all ledgers distributed use blockchains to provide secure and valid
distributed consensus.
Blockchain is distributed throughout and managed by
peer-to-peer networks. Because this is a distributed ledger, it can exist
without a centralized authority or the server that governs it, and the quality of
its data can be maintained by database replication and computational trust.
However, the blockchain structure makes it different from
other types of distributed ledgers. Data on the blockchain is grouped together
and organized into blocks. The blocks are then connected to each other and
secured using cryptography.
Blockchain is basically a growing list of records. The append-only structure only allows data to be added to the database: changing or
deleting data entered previously in the previous block is not possible. Because
of this, Blockchain technology is perfect for recording events, managing
records, processing transactions, tracking assets, and voting.
Cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, pioneered blockchain
technology. The massive Bitcoin rally at the end of 2017, and the media frenzy
that ensued brought cryptocurrency into the mainstream public imagination.
Governments, businesses, economists and enthusiasts are now considering ways to
implement blockchain technology for other uses.
Conclusion
Every blockchain is a distributed ledger, but not every big
book distributed is a blockchain. Each of these concepts requires decentralization
and consensus between nodes. However, the blockchain organizes data in blocks,
and updates entries using an append-only structure. Large books that are widely
distributed, and blockchain in particular, are conceptual breakthroughs in
managing information and can be expected to find applications in every sector
of the economy.
