It’s used to record transactions and keep track of assets, but it can also be used for other things like voting or keeping track of medical records. Blockchain is a decentralized system, meaning that no one party controls the data stored within it–it’s shared with everyone who has access to it (this also means there are no central servers). Because blockchain uses encryption techniques to ensure security and privacy, it provides a secure way to store data without having access restrictions imposed by third parties
