Let's not dig into the technicalities of how a blockchain works, rather focus on how it is beneficial for businesses and will dominate in the future. One of the core benefits of any application on the blockchain is its security and integrity. In real-world important information in physical format can be duplicated and or manipulated. Similarly, even in traditionally digital formats where it is stored in a database, it can be hacked and or accessed and manipulated. Blockchain offers rock-solid security and intrusion is not possible because of its interconnectivity of distributed blockchain ledgers which verify its chain to stay intact and secure.

After the success of Bitcoin in cryptocurrencies, we are seeing rapid development in different types of applications and platforms built on blockchain technologies.

What other industries blockchain is helpful for?
