This is where blockchain technology comes in. Like the gates in real life, a blockchain block is connected and contains information. In these blocks are financial value, user data, and messages. Why blockchain? Altering information from the blockchain is difficult, and information shared between the blocks must agree. A block has a harsh and a harsh can be equivalent to a fingerprint. It is a technique that guarantees security at all times. The harsh plays a major role in validating information running across the blocks. When the genesis block's hash disagrees with the next block, it will call for invalidation of the entire block. Blockchain technology uses the harsh and proof of work to secure the internet of things. To secure itself, the blockchain has a peer-to-peer network.
