A blockchain data structure is a sequential, tamper-evident record system where data is stored in blocks linked cryptographically. Each block contains a timestamp, transaction data, and a cryptographic hash of the previous block, creating an immutable chain. This design ensures data integrity and chronological order, forming the foundational ledger for decentralized applications. It represents a distributed and secure method for information storage.
Context
Continuous research focuses on optimizing blockchain data structures to improve scalability, efficiency, and storage capacity without compromising security. Discussions often address the trade-offs between various structural choices, such as Merkle trees for transaction verification versus alternative data organization methods. Future developments seek to accommodate increasing transaction volumes and diverse data types, which is a constant theme in blockchain news.
