Here is how these technologies work and help you determine which one is right for you.Understanding Blockchain: Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger technology that allows multiple parties to maintain a shared record of transactions without the need for a central authority.

To make a payment using blockchain, users typically rely on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. These digital currencies serve as a medium of exchange within the blockchain network. When a transaction occurs, it is broadcasted to the network, verified by a consensus mechanism (e.g., proof-of-work or proof-of-stake), and then added to a block.
