surely you are already more than familiar with Bitcoin and Blockchain technology as a result of all the noise generated earlier this year.
In this post we tell you what DLTs are and how they differ from Blockchain .What are DLTs and what is their meaningDistributed Ledger Technology (DLT) or distributed ledger technologies are a set of technologies that allow us to design a system structure that allows it to function as a NOT centralized database .
This means that there is no central computer or server that stores the information, making it a more secure system (the database cannot be “hacked” as there is no central computer to attack).Now, not all DLT systems have to be fully decentralized.
This chain ends up generating a linked and non-modifiable record of the information that has been stored in these blocks.Both DLT networks and blockchain networks use protocols of the P2P or peer-to-peer type , which guarantees that the security and immutability standards are very high.
And just as in DLTs there are different degrees of decentralization (complete, distributed or federated), in blockchain networks the exact same thing happens.In short, a DLT network enables the secure operation of a decentralized digital database and where distributed networks eliminate the need for a central authority to control manipulation.How DLT worksDLT allows all information to be stored safely and accurately using cryptography.
It can be accessed through “keys” and cryptographic signatures .
