What is the blockchain
For those who don’t yet know, blockchain technology, simply put, is a decentralised and distributed ledger technology. It allows for the storage and distribution of data in a secure and transparent way. The Blockchain acts as a platform that gives rise to new technological advancements, such as Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. Other technologies that will use the Blockchain includes smart contracts. These are legal contracts that use the Blockchain to self-execute using an ‘if this then that’ logic. Blockchain will also have a huge impact on land information systems.
