Blockchain technology is a universal online database that anyone can use anywhere with an internet connection. In contrast to regular databases controlled and operated by central figures such as banks and governments, a blockchain doesn’t fall under any single person or entity.
Blockchain is the decentralized technology network that helps in the transaction of digital currency such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, etc.
And with an entire network looking after it, cheating the system by faking documents, transactions and other information become near impossible.
This fusion of this blockchain technology into mobile apps will increase the processing speed and it also ensures the safety of users’ information.
It’s foreseen that blockchain technology has the potential to replace Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store and be the main choice for installing, purchasing, and searching.
