Definition
A blockchain is a database of transactions, duplicated and shared on all computers in the network, ensuring data cannot be altered retroactively.
A sequence of block, each linking to its predecessor all the way to the genesis block by referencing the hash of the previous block. The integrity of the blockchain is crypto-economically secured using a proof-of-stake-based consensus mechanism.
