– Every block stores the Merkle root of all the transactions it
has.
• Header:
– Block Number.
– Timestamp.
– Hash of the previous block's header

• A batch of transactions.

– There is no central authority to validate new transactions.
• This approach means data on the blockchain came from the most
reliable source.
