A blockchain is a self-managing chain of data like a ledger and is resistant to modification. This technology was created by someone with the alias Satoshi Nakamoto and has kept his identity hidden over the years.
A blockchain is, essentially, a group of information. The blocks are made up of separate data, and the data is linked together in a database known as the chain. The data typically includes a verified transaction, and each individual block is given a code – also called a hash. This technology can be incorporated into different fields but it is mostly used as a ledger for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

SteemMonsters
If you love a good story then SteemMonsters is the app for you. In this game, the fantasy world was once a zootopia where all the summoners and monsters lived together in peace and sang “kumbaya”. Maybe not exactly like that but, more than a thousand years ago the world split and chaos ensued. Now the survivors of the split have to do anything to survive.
