A blockchain consists of a linear chain of multiple linked blocks that are cryptographically secured. Each block is a file made up of multiple components. It contains, among other things, a list of recent transactions and a reference to the block that came immediately before it. Each validated block also contains a registered solution (block hash) of a complex mathematical problem, which is part of the process of Mining.
