Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology has been gaining popularity since the emergence of 'Bitcoin', one of the most popular Cryptocurrencies in the world. A Blockchain stores data in blocks that are linked to one another in a Digital format. The Data uploaded into these blocks are chained together in Chronological order. So, it is almost impossible to tamper or misuse the data present in the blocks. The Blockchain platforms have the potential to support trusted private transactions with data confidentiality.

The demand for Blockchain developers continues to grow is rising worldwide. According to a new report from the job search site HIRD, demand for Software engineers with Blockchain development skills is set to grow by 517%. The salaries of software developers with Blockchain skills are around Rs. 1 crore in the US. The value of the cryptocurrency market where this technology is applied is over 40 trillion crores. Many companies, such as Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Bank of America, are investing heavily in the use of Blockchain technology in everyday operations. This technology includes other jobs such as Blockchain engineer and Blockchain architect.

Blockchain technology is used not only in the Banking sector but also in other sectors. For example, Uber and Amazon act as Intermediaries. A certain percentage of the money spent when you buy an item in those sites goes to them. Otherwise, peer- to- peer transactions can be done directly with this technology without relying on any intermediaries. This technology is used in Real estate, Supply chain, and Medical fields as well.
