DLT

Definition

DLT, or Distributed Ledger Technology, refers to a decentralized database maintained across many different network participants. Unlike traditional centralized databases, DLT records and validates transactions across a network of independent computers, ensuring data integrity and transparency. Blockchain is a specific type of DLT that organizes data into blocks linked cryptographically. This technology supports various applications beyond cryptocurrencies, including supply chain management and digital identity.
