Blockchain for Developer - What's behind the hype?
summary
Explains that blockchain is a replicated tamper‑evident log, contrasts public permissionless chains with private permissioned ones, and claims private networks drop mining and hit databaselike throughput; demonstrates the phone‑number‑porting failure mode and a working pattern where transactions, mempools, consensus and deterministic smart‑contract validation prevent later reconciliation. Names tooling used: Hyper ledger Fabric, Quorum, Ethereum. Lays out three concrete returns: timestamped audit hashes, shared process ledgers for B2B, and new markets (car‑sharing insurance) with evolving zero‑knowledge proofs.
