How Bitcoin works

Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency that allows peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. Users can buy, sell, or trade Bitcoin, which operates on a secure, transparent system, making it resistant to censorship and fraud.

Hyperledger and Multichain scenarios

Hyperledger is an open-source blockchain framework that supports you in creating customisable, modular applications that are focused on privacy and scalability, ideal for industries like finance and supply chain. Multichain is a platform that allows businesses to create controlled, secure blockchains for efficient asset tracking and data sharing, offering flexibility without public access limitations.

App creation using Ethereum

Engineers are motivated to build on Ethereum for its ability to support decentralised, trustless applications through smart contracts. Ethereum’s blockchain ensures security, transparency, and immutability, removing the need for intermediaries. This opens innovative possibilities for finance, gaming, and supply chain apps, attracting engineers interested in creating impactful, future-forward solutions.
