What are the ten characteristic of blockchain?

Blockchain has characteristics which mark it as something transformative, perhaps even more transformative than the web. At its core, blockchain is just a database, one that is particularly good at dealing with transactions about assets, whether they’re financial assets, physical assets such as cars, or something more abstract like customer data.

But blockchain has some key characteristics which make it different:

1. Digital Cryptocurrency
2. Decentralized Computing Infrastructure
3. Transaction Platform
4. Decentralized Database
5. Shared, Distributed Accounting Ledger
6. Software Development Platform
7. Open Source Software
8. Financial Services Marketplace
9. Peer-to-Peer Network
10. Trust Services Layer
