The paradigm change of Blockchain is not left out from this evolution. The technological concept behind the Blockchain is interestingly closely identical to that of a database. However, it is clearly one of the key concepts that needs to be understood for the future. There are five key concepts that not only need to be understood but also explored in a manner that examines how they interrelate one to another: smart contracts, decentralized consensus, the Blockchain, trusted computing and proof of workProof of work /state. This exciting computing paradigm is critically important because it will be instrumental to the creation of decentralized applications. This chapter will explore 4 main key concepts of Blockchain Technology—Blockchain, Decentralized databases application consensus, Proof of work/stake and Smart contracts—while appreciating the Blockchain paradigm change structure.
