The transactions are duplicated and distributed across a huge network of computer systems on the blockchain. This new disruptive technology is impacting the banking industry by reducing foreign exchange charges and hidden fees involved. The cybersecurity industry is also witnessing a shift with blockchain by ensuring our data is safe against unauthorized access and tampering. The healthcare industry is witnessing transformation with regards to disease diagnosis as blockchain is helping in easy access of data. Blockchain technology is also helping workers distinguish between counterfeit medication.
