A transaction is initiated by one party and broadcasted to the network. Nodes in the network validate the transaction using the consensus mechanism.
Once validated, the transaction is added to a new block. The block is then added to the blockchain, becoming a permanent part of the ledger.
While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most well-known applications of blockchain technology, its potential far exceeds these limits.
