A blockchain is arranged in blocks to securely and efficiently store data in chronological order. Each block contains a batch of transactions and is linked to the previous block using a cryptographic hash.
This structure ensures data integrity, as altering one block would require changing all subsequent blocks, making tampering nearly impossible. Blocks also allow for distributed verification by network participants, promoting transparency and decentralization.
This design optimizes scalability, enabling new data to be added in smaller, manageable units while maintaining a continuous, secure, and immutable record of all transactions.
