Distributed Ledger Theory examines the foundational principles and operational characteristics of distributed ledger technologies, including blockchains. This theoretical framework explores consensus mechanisms, data immutability, and cryptographic security across a decentralized network. It provides a conceptual understanding of how these systems maintain shared records without a central authority. The theory underpins the design and security of digital asset systems.
Context
Distributed Ledger Theory forms the academic and technical basis for understanding the advantages and limitations of blockchain applications. Current discussions often focus on optimizing consensus algorithms, improving scalability, and addressing privacy concerns within these distributed systems. Researchers continuously refine this theory to address emerging challenges and possibilities in the digital economy.
