Steemit Crypto Academy Contest Season 8 Week 1 -The Importance Of Blockchain Technology By @fabiha
Introduction
In this Era of modern world block-chain technology is becoming one of the most hottest topics, It is promising and an efficient and a secure way to store and share the data without any central record or authority controlling. But despite the fact, most of the people are still unsure of what blockchain is and how it works really they don't know what is blockchain? - not to mention the main issues that arise with its existing system. In this post, I will provide you a very basic understanding of blockchain technology and its features, and how we can use a zero knowledge proof for authentication. I’ll also discuss some of its advantages and disadvantages, so you can get a better idea of whether it’s a viable solution for your needs. Let’s Start!
What are The main issues arising in the existing system of Blockchain technology
Since we all know the block chain technology is still a recent innovation, there are many usability, scalability, and compliance challenges that need to be overcome. First and foremost, the current system has a serious scalability problem. The quantity of data that can be contained in a block places, a restriction on blockchains. As a result, it will be challenging to expand the current system to accommodate the demands of huge organisations. Secondly, in my opinion compliance is a problem as well because it is challenging for governments to ensure compliance with legislation because blockchain networks are decentralised. Thirdly, there are security issues with the current system. Although blockchains are supposedly unchangeable, some weaknesses have recently been found and taken advantage of. Finally, despite the fact some success, non-technical consumers still find it difficult to use public blockchains like Bitcoin because of the difficulties in creating wallets, sending money, and communicating with the network.
Explain to us some of the key features of Blockchain Technology?
The some of the key features of Blockchain Technology are decentralization, immutability, and transparency. Decentralization means that no one can control or manipulate transactions on the blockchain; it is instead managed by a set of nodes, allowing multiple users to access data on the chain securely. Furthermore, as all data is stored in blocks in an uneditable form, immutability ensures that data cannot be tampered with. Lastly, due to its decentralized nature, all users have equal access to view and audit the data stored on the blockchain, enhancing transparency.
Give a basic and simple understanding of how blockchain technology works
Blockchain technology is a revolutionary new way of storing and sharing digital information in an immutable ledger. By using peer-to-peer networks, it allows data to be stored securely and distributed among many participants, eliminating the need for powerful central servers or intermediaries. Through its cryptographic-proof protocol, blockchain technology ensures that data can't be altered or tampered with once entered into the network. This highly secure system also allows computations to be performed quickly, reliably, and transparently – all while reducing overall costs and providing traceability and accountability.
Provide an understanding of how we can be able to use Zero knowledge proof for authentication
Authentication it's a key part of our digital lives, and we want to make sure it stays safe. That's why Zero Knowledge Proof is here - it allows us to prove that one owns a piece of information, without revealing any details about the data itself! It works by having two parties – an 'authenticator' and a 'verifier'. The authenticator has the data that needs to be verified, and the verifier only needs to know if the judgement is correct or not. With this technology, authentication can be both secure and trustful – it's time to unlock the power of Zero Knowledge Proof!
Advantages and Disadvantages Of Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology has ushered in a new wave of decentralisation, offering unprecedented security and transparency when it comes to the transfer of digital assets. But with this groundbreaking technology come some inherent downsides - for businesses and consumers alike.
On the plus side, blockchain technology promises faster, more secure transactions due to its distributed nature. It can also reduce the costs associated with traditional payment processing since there is no need for intermediaries. As an added bonus, blockchain technology helps ensure that all digital assets are unique and non-duplicable.
Unfortunately, there are some major drawbacks to this technology as well. For starters, due to its complexity, blockchain technology is not easy to implement and manage. Additionally, the decentralised nature of the system can make it difficult to verify the identity of transacting parties - leaving them vulnerable to fraudulent activities. Finally, blockchain networks require large amounts of energy and computing power to operate - creating an environmental burden.
Ultimately, blockchain technology offers countless advantages but also contains several potential risks. We must weigh these pros and cons carefully before deciding if it's right for us.
Conclusion
Understanding blockchain technology is essential in this digital age. With its revolutionary decentralised nature and unprecedented security, it promises to revolutionise the way we do business. Have you considered unlocking the power of blockchain technology yet?
Actually you tackled the questions differently from how we did ours. But your explanations where very accurate and understandable. Most especially your explanations about how the ZKP works is very detailed and understanding. Indeed you did very well good luck to you buddy.
Assalamualaikum,
Dear your entry is somehow different from other participants and I appreciate your uniqueness and creativity. You prefer to right in paragraphs without headings but most of users prefer headings to right thier content.
But your presentation is well and quite readable. I really pleased to see how you explained zero Knowledge Proof in simple words and in few words and your explanation about working of Blockchain is also very impressive.
Further more you mentioned the best points of Blockchain technology which are making it attractive and with advantages, Disadvantages are also rightly mention.
That's a very good entry from you friend, Keep it up and Good luck 🤞🤠
Regards: @cryptobitcoins
Walaikum Assalam, thank you for your valuable comment.
Certainly you have to balance the advantages and disadvantages of the blockchain, and it can only be done by getting deeply involved to the point of knowing the blockchain in all its details, this will be the platform that will stay with us for a long time.
Great post @fabiha friend..!
Thank you so much for your comment.
Well good job @fabhia I appreciate your efforts in creating this article.you have explained well about the topic overall.
Security and scalability are some hindrance in the implementation of the blockchain technology.You have also explained well about the key features of Blockchain technology.I agree with your points that you have explained in the features.
Zero knowledge proof is good and advanced method for the athentication because it does not utilise the personal information of the users to verify them it also protect the data of websites from the hacking etc.
You have also explained well about the working of blockchain Technology that records transactions on the nodes.
There are many advantages of the blockchain technology,and also some drawbacks that causes hindrance in the implementation. Due to its advanced features its progressing day by day. If some issues in its implementation are resolved it will work in more better way.
Great efforts I wish you good luck in the contest.
The complexity of the blockchain technology is a key factor that has help in limiting the adoption of the technology. Though there are many advantages of the technology ranging from fast transactions, security, immutability etc. The importance of blockchain technology truly can not be overemohasised. I wish you success in this contest my friend.
