 Tytuł wystąpienia: Tangle as Distributed Ledger Technology

Abstract: Since time immemorial, ledgers have been used to record payments, contracts, and transfers of assets. The advent of computers has brought great convenience and speed to the activity of ledger maintenance. Further, with advancements in cryptography and security, information on the ledger is more accurately and securely stored. However, centralized ledgers are vulnerable to various kinds of cyber-attacks and a single point of failure. On the other hand, distributed ledgers are synchronized databases in which the records of transactions are maintained in decentralized form across different locations. The most talked-about distributed ledger technology in vogue is the blockchain. The blockchain is a list of blocks that are linked together using cryptographic hashes. However, it has been observed that the major limitation of blockchain is scalability. IOTA Tangle emerges as a new distributed ledger technology that aims to improve on the limitations of blockchain while keeping the advantages of the former.
