What Is Blockchain?
A shared digital record that multiple participants can verify.
Think of blockchain as a ledger copied Shared Traceable

Important: blockchain is not automatically private, fast, or fully secure. Design choices 
matter.

Why Build a Blockchain App?
Use it when shared trust and verifiable history are valuable.

Good fit
Shared records • Digital assets • Supply-chain provenance • Multi-party settlement
Poor fit
A single trusted database owner, highly sensitive data that must stay secret, or workloads needing 
extremely high throughput with minimal latency.

Core Building Blocks
Most blockchain applications combine these layers.

4. Wallet & identity 5. Off-chain services

software helps users manage and notifications support the app.

Design principle: keep only the data and logic that need shared verification 
on-chain.

How a Blockchain Transaction Works

The user experience should clearly show pending, confirmed, and failed states—and 
explain transaction fees when relevant.

Smart Contracts & Development Tools
Choose tools based on the network, language, and product requirements.

Tool names are examples, not a universal stack. Confirm current versions and network compatibility before

Smart contract rules can restrict who may submit each event. Blockchain does not prove that an
