DLT Networks

Definition

DLT networks, or Distributed Ledger Technology networks, are decentralized systems that record transactions across multiple computers simultaneously. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs maintain a synchronized and immutable record of information without a central authority. Blockchains represent a prominent type of DLT, but other forms exist, offering varied consensus mechanisms and data structures. These networks are foundational for many digital assets and decentralized applications.
