1. Public Blockchain It is decentralized with no single authority on the network. All transactions in this type of blockchain are visible to any node on the network. The first blockchain network was created for Bitcoin which is a public blockchain. Bitcoin originated with the concept of this...
The processing of related types of transactions in blockchain networks results in the implementation of many similar smart contracts. The rules verifying transactions are therefore duplicated many times. The article introduces the AdapT v2.0 smart contract design pattern. The design pattern employs a ...
A private blockchain works in a restrictive environment, like a closed network or when it is under the control of a single entity. While it operates like a public blockchain network in the sense that it uses peer-to-peer connections and decentralization, this type of blockchain is on a m...

Digital currency is a form of currency stored in a digital wallet, and the owner can turn currency into cash by transferring it to a bank account. Cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, isdifferent from digital currency. It uses blockchain for verification and no central authority such as a bank,...
Support of state variables or objects, data types, and other programming functions Solidity is supported in several blockchain platforms including Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Tendermint and ErisDB, and Counterparty. Watch this video on “Solidity in Blockchain” Solidity Setup Let’s discuss the way...
Nodes perform critical functions, such as verifying transactions, participating in consensus mechanisms, and ensuring the integrity of the blockchain. The blockchain network comprises various node types, including full nodes that store the entire ledger and light nodes that only download block headers ...
In its essence, a blockchain is a shared – or distributed – database capable of processing and recording all transactions taking place within a network on a peer-to-peer basis, eliminating the traditional need for a third party to record and verify single transactions, and creating an immuta...
