What is Blockchains : Decentralized and Verifiable Data Systems about?

This book takes readers through the sensational history of blockchains and their potential to revolutionize database systems of the future.

The book explores the nature of these decentralized systems, which have no single owner and build robustness through a multitude of stakeholder contributions.
