Cryptocurrency: An Overview

A type of digital or virtual money protected by encryption is called cryptocurrency. With blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger maintained by a network of computers known as nodes, cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks. This is in contrast to traditional currencies issued by governments, or fiat currencies. Because of their decentralized nature, cryptocurrencies are immune to fraud and censorship because of their immutability, security, and transparency of transactions.

 

In addition to serving as a store of value and a medium of exchange, cryptocurrencies can also be used to power smart contracts and decentralized apps (dApps). As cryptocurrencies have grown in popularity, thousands of distinct digital currencies have emerged, each with special characteristics and applications.
