Blockchain enables the existence of cryptocurrency

According to NASSCOM's Blockchain Report 2019, the adoption of blockchain technology in India is experiencing exponential growth as investments in blockchain-based projects have touched over $20 billion across multiple sectors.

FAQs
What is DLT and blockchain? ›
Distributed ledgers use independent computers (referred to as nodes) to record, share and synchronize transactions in their respective electronic ledgers (instead of keeping data centralized as in a traditional ledger). Blockchain organizes data into blocks, which are chained together in an append only mode.
What type of DLT is blockchain? ›Blockchain is a type of DLT where transactions are recorded with an immutable cryptographic signature called a hash. The transactions are then grouped in blocks and each new block includes a hash of the previous one, chaining them together, hence why distributed ledgers are often called blockchains.
How is blockchain different from DLT? ›The significant difference between blockchain and DLT is the cryptographic signing and linking groups of records in the ledger that forms a chain. Furthermore, there is a chance for the public and users to determine how a blockchain is structured and run based on the specific application of blockchain.
Which institute is best for blockchain in India? ›* Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT-KGP), one of India's oldest premier technology institutes, started a free 12-week online course on blockchain from January 24, 2022 onwards. * The course educates about the basic design principles of blockchain technology and its applications in various sectors.
