5 Philadelphia Blockchain Startups to Watch

A blockchain is a decentralized, shared ledger that records transactions and tracks assets in a business network.

Such an asset can be tangible, such as a car or a house, or even intangible, such as property or patents. The goal of a blockchain is to allow digital information to be distributed and recorded, but not edited. This ensures that information cannot be manipulated from a central location. Transactions and records cannot be deleted, changed or destroyed.
