Transferring value without trust
ОглавлениеOne of the unique strengths of blockchain technology is that it supports transferring items of value between entities that do not trust one another. In fact, that’s the big pull for blockchain. You have to trust only the consensus protocol, not any other user. Your transactions are carried out in a verifiable and stable manner, so you can trust that they are being handled properly and securely. This capability eliminates the need for a third party to act as a transaction broker. In today’s economy, most transfers of value include at least one intermediary, such as a bank, to handle transfer details.
