Distributed Ledger

Distributed ledgers (DL) are databases that are consensually shared and synchronized across participating nodes. Replicated ledgers are stored on independent, distributed computers with attached storage that record, share, synchronize and verify transactions. Transactions are grouped in blocks that are linked using a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Distributed ledgers eliminate the need for a third party intermediary to verify a transaction.
