                Open-source blockchain security research (contributions welcome!)
              
          
    What is a blockchain?


Distributed ledger system; for tracking the transfer of tokens (currency, data of any type).
A cross between economics, cryptography, and the internet.

Side note- if you ever wanted a financial incentive to get involved in cryptography, this is it.


A blockchain is literally a chain of blocks, where each block contains a list of transactions that everyone agrees have occurred.

Each block builds upon all the ones before it.
