Blockchain was introduced in 2008 with the publication of the Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto, as a distributed ledger technology operating without the need for a central authority. In 2009, with the creation of the first block and the mining of Bitcoin, the era of cryptocurrencies officially began. Later, with the launch of Ethereum in 2015 and the introduction of smart contracts, blockchain evolved into a platform enabling thousands of tokens, decentralized applications, and a new digital economy.
Today, blockchain technology and crypto-assets are widely used in areas such as payments, finance, supply chain management, and digital identity, and are considered one of the foundational pillars of the future digital economy.
