Abstract

In the financial systems of the modern era, trust has always been a missing entity; concentrations of power and trust have given birth to numerous breakdowns. To resolve the problems at this end, the paper attempts for a solution using Blockchains, a data structure that allows for the creation of cryptically secured distributed tamperproof ledgers. The paper discusses the data structure and further disserts on the case study in consideration.
