Blockchain in Web Development: Challenges and Opportunities
Blockchain technology, originally designed to facilitate transactions and record-keeping for Bitcoin, is increasingly being adopted across various industries, including web development. At its core, blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records transactions across multiple computers so that any involved record cannot be modified retroactively. In the context of web development, this technology is opening up a new realm of opportunities for creating decentralized applications (dApps), facilitating peer-to-peer interactions without the need for intermediaries, enhancing security, and providing greater transparency. However, as promising as blockchain may be, it also presents significant challenges that developers must navigate. In this article, we will explore both the opportunities and challenges of integrating blockchain technology into web development.
