Abstract

Iako Blockchain i distribuirane knjige nisu novi koncepti, moderna tehnologija daje im novi život. Ona otvara nove mogućnosti sigurne bankarske i trgovinske aktivnosti uklanjanjem nepotrebnih posrednika te koristeći složene kriptografske alate. U današnjem svijetu, sigurnost podataka korisnika stavlja se u sve veći plan pa time dolazi do prepoznavanje potencijala ovakve digitalne revolucije. Stoga se Blockchain tehnologija nameće kao optimalno rješenje. Počevši od digitalnih valuta, Blockchain tehnologija ostvarila je značajan napredak u posljednjem desetljeću. S razvojem informatičkih tehnologija kriptovalute su postale sve važniji faktor te dovode u prvi plan sve mogućnosti blockchain tehnologije. Dok se decentraliziranost i neregularnost sustava smatra najvećom prednosti, također vuče za sobom olakšanu manipulaciju podacima unutar lanca gdje se javlja potreba za pojačanom enkripcijom podataka te algoritmima konsenzusa radi očuvanja integriteta. Omogućena dobrom podlogom od strane tehnologije, blockchain bi se, u budućnosti, u školstvu i drugim raznim institucijama mogao naći kao sastavni dio svakodnevice. Primjena blockchain tehnologije te realizacija direktnih umjesto centraliziranih transakcija može uvelike uvesti promjene u društveno-ekonomski svijet.

Abstract (english)

Although Blockchain and distributed ledgers are not new concepts, modern technology is giving them new life. It opens up new possibilities for secure banking and trading activity by removing unnecessary intermediaries and using complex cryptographic tools. In today’s world, the security of users’ data is increasingly important, so the potential of this digital revolution is being recognized. Therefore, Blockchain technology imposes as the optimal solution. Starting with digital currency, Blockchain technology has made significant progress in the last decade. With the development of IT technologies, cryptocurrencies have become an increasingly important factor and bring all the possibilities of blockchain technology to the fore. While the system’s decentralization and irregularity are considered the greatest advantage, it also entails easy data manipulation within the chain. Therefore, there arises the need for increased data encryption and consensus algorithms to preserve its integrity. Enabled by a good foundation from technology, blockchain could be found as an integral part of everyday life in schools and other various institutions in the future. The application of blockchain technology and the realization of direct instead of centralized transactions can greatly introduce changes in the socio-economic world.
