Chapter Chapter 1 in Build Your Own Blockchain, 2020, pp 3-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A blockchainBlockchain is a ledgerLedger of blocks of information (e.g., transactions, agreements, etc.) that are stored sequentially across a networkNetwork of computers. Rather than a simple algorithm, blockchainBlockchain is a technology construct and an enabling protocol that facilitates a decentralized brokering of data among participants, i.e., its revolutionary properties do not derive from what blockchainsBlockchain do (i.e., store data securely), but from the manner in which they are used and implemented (i.e., trustless and decentralized).
