1. INTRODUCTION

1.1Fundamentals

Thefirstusecaseforblockchaintechnologyinthe real-world setting is the Bitcoin blockchain. Due to this disparity,"blockchain"isattimeserroneouslyassumedto be the same as Bitcoin. Modern blockchain technology solutions, however, monitor digital assets rather than money, and their blockchain architecture differs greatly from Bitcoin's. The concept that a blockchain is a data structure that records credits and debits to illustrate a bank ledger and provides a clever cryptographic solution thatpreventsthedouble-spendingofcryptocurrencyunits hasalsobeenrendered popularbytheBitcoinblockchain. Because of this, the phrases "double spend" and "digital ledger" became associated with blockchains for cryptocurrencies. However, both phrases broadly refer to identifying ownership and requiring a single transfer of digital assets, respectively. Avoid assuming that these terms refer solely to blockchain technology focused on cryptocurrencieswhenencounteringthem.Ablockchainis an immutable data structure that monitors valuable or

interesting propertyasittransfers fromoneownertothe next. Any digital asset, whether a Word document, a Microsoft Surface tablet's serial number, or a digital currency, might constitute that "something." On a blockchain,anydatathatcanbelinkedtoadistinctdigital fingerprintmaybetraced.Blockchaintechnologyrequires thatownershipofadigitalitembetransferredratherthan duplicated or shared, which eliminates the so-called "double-spend"issue.

The most significant aspect of blockchain technology, though,isthatitdevelopsa protocol,imposestransaction rules, and allows the nodes on its dispersed computer network to self-police the entire system. It accomplishes this amazing feat efficiently and universally (that is, globally)withoutacentralserverortrustauthority.Those who believe this promise may reduce or eliminate middlemen and waive transaction costs, increasing the efficiencyoftradeforbothconsumersandenterprises,are excitedaboutit[1].

1.2 Objectives

The main objectives of this project could be listed as Decentralisation, Security, Transparency, Accessibility, Smart Contracts functionality, Improved Liquidity, and Lowered Transaction fees. All of these are explained below:
