The Bedrock: Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies

Understand the core technology behind Web3. We break down what a blockchain is, how it works, and the important role cryptocurrencies play.

Blocks = Pages

Each block contains a list of transactions. Once full, it is sealed and added to the chain.

Chain = Binding

Each block is cryptographically linked to the previous one, creating an unbreakable sequence.

Distributed

Everyone has a copy. No single master copy to attack. Updates sync across the entire network.

Gas Fees

Crypto pays validators for processing transactions. Economic incentives keep the network honest.

This module explains the core technology behind Web3. We'll break down what a blockchain is, how it works, and the important role cryptocurrencies play in making these decentralized networks function.
