Rather than being stored on a central server, the data is distributed across many computers within a network. This results in a high degree of transparency, security and reliability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each new data block contains information about previous blocks and is cryptographically secured. This makes it extremely difficult to alter data that has already been stored, which significantly hinders any attempts at manipulation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blockchain technology is used in various fields, for example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin<\/li>\n<li>Digital contracts (smart contracts)<\/li>\n<li>Supply Chain Management<\/li>\n<li>Identity management<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare and Documentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key benefits of blockchain include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>High transparency<\/li>\n<li>Decentralised data storage<\/li>\n<li>Traceability of transactions<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced data security<\/li>\n<li>Reducing the risk of tampering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to these characteristics, blockchain is regarded as a technology with great potential for innovation, capable of making existing processes more efficient and trustworthy. innoWerft supports start-ups and companies in evaluating new technologies such as blockchain, identifying use cases and developing innovative solutions that create genuine added value for customers and markets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The blockchain is a decentralised, digital database that records transactions securely and transparently.
