Blockchain technology is used in a wide range of applications in a variety of industries, and it is likely that its potential has yet been discovered. Hence, this project will also incorporate the applications offered by the blockchain technology. Blockchain is a method of storing data that makes it difficult or impossible to alter, hack, or cheat it. A blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions that is distributed across its network of computer systems. Each block on the chain contains information of transactions, and if a new transaction occurs, a record of that transaction is added to the ledger of each participant. This decentralized database that is administered by various people is also known as the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).
