Shared ledger technology refers to a distributed database system where multiple participants maintain and verify a common record of transactions. All authorized parties have access to an identical, immutable version of the ledger. This architecture promotes transparency, reduces the need for reconciliation, and enhances data integrity. It underpins many blockchain and distributed ledger applications.
