The blockchain is like a special computer program that helps people share information and keep track of things online. It's kind of like a really big, super-secure notebook that lots of people can use at the same time.
Imagine you have a notebook that you use to keep track of your allowance. You write down how much money you have, and every time you get more money or spend some, you write it down in the notebook. That way, you always know how much money you have.
A blockchain works kind of like that, but instead of just one person using it, lots of people can use it at the same time. And instead of just keeping track of money, it can be used to keep track of all sorts of things, like who owns which piece of land, or who has the right to vote in an election.
The special thing about a blockchain is that it's really, really hard to change or cheat. That's because every time someone wants to add something new to the blockchain, lots of other people have to check and make sure it's okay. And once something is added to the blockchain, it's really hard to change it.
So a blockchain is like a really big, super-secure notebook that lots of people can use at the same time to keep track of all sorts of important stuff.
Advocy uses the Blockchain to conduct each and every transaction throughout the whole site. From Campaigns to donations to funding your new favorite board game. Since the Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger that is used to record transactions across a network of computers it allows Advocy to keep track of each and every transaction safely and securely. It is often used to securely record financial transactions, but it can also be used to record any type of data that needs to be securely stored and verifiable. This benefit allows Advocy to track and process transactions pertaining to political campaigns that have legal policies.
One of the key features of blockchain technology is that it is secure and resistant to tampering. This is because each block in the chain contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block and a timestamp and transaction data. This makes it difficult to alter the data in a block without being detected because any changes to the block would also change its hash. Therefore Advocy can process all transactions accordingly no matter the nature of the transaction.
In addition to the cryptographic security provided by the hashing function, blockchain networks also typically use consensus algorithms to ensure that all nodes in the network agree on the state of the ledger. This means that multiple copies of the ledger are kept in sync across the network, making it difficult for a single actor to alter the ledger without being detected. So you can rest assured that your information and transactions are safe and accounted for.
Overall, the combination of cryptographic security and decentralized consensus makes blockchain technology and Advocy well-suited for use in secure transactions.
