Introduction to Distributed Ledger

A Distributed Ledger (DL) is a digital system for recording transactions where the records are stored across multiple locations or computers (called nodes) instead of being kept in a single, central database. Unlike traditional databases managed by a central authority, distributed ledgers operate in a decentralized or shared manner, which enhances transparency, security, and resilience. The most popular form of distributed ledger is Blockchain, but there are also others like Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and Hashgraph.
