2. What is Blockchain? Open ledger that offers decentralization to the parties. In addition, it also offers transparency, immutability, and security. It has many features including being open, distributed, ledger, P2P, and permanent. 1. Open 2. Distributed 3. Ledger 4. P2P 5. Permanent
3. How Blockchain Works
4. Benefits of Blockchain 1. Immutability 2. Decentralized 3. Enhanced Security 4. Distributed 5. Consensus 6. Faster Settlement
7. Top Blockchain Terms Airdrop: This is a process of distributing free cryptocurrencies to the general public Altcoin: Any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin Bitcoin: Bitcoin also referred to as BTC, is a decentralized blockchain tailored particularly for transaction of tokens between accounts.

Also, the contracts use public ledger for storage purposes. Smart contracts are triggered when a condition is met, and are completely autonomous.
11. How do Smart Contract Work?
13. Advantages of Smart Contracts ➔ Total Transparency ➔ No Miscommunication ➔ Efficient Performance ➔ No Paperwork ➔ Backup ➔ Trustworthy ➔ Guaranteed Outcomes
14. Disadvantages of Smart Contracts ➔ Error ➔ Confidentiality ➔ Rouge contracts (Fraudulent). ➔ Unreliable Information
15. Smart Contracts Use Cases
17. Verticals of Blockchain Transformations ➔ Technology ➔ Law and Crime ➔ Government Service ➔ Finance ➔ Human Rights ➔ Entertainment ➔ Media ➔ Transportation ➔ Contracts
