Maya lived in a small village. Every evening, she would sit under a big tree with her friends to trade fruits and toys. To keep track of who gave what to whom, Maya used a notebook.
One day, her friend Raju said, “What if Maya changes the notebook to show I owe her more toys than I actually do?” Everyone got worried.
Then, another friend, Neha, had an idea. She said, “Let’s all keep a copy of the notebook. Every time Maya writes something, we will write it too. That way, if anyone tries to cheat, we’ll all know because our notebooks won’t match!”
Everyone agreed. Now, every trade was written in all their notebooks. No one could change or delete anything because everyone had the same records. This system made the group trust each other even more.
This is how blockchain works! It’s like a notebook shared by everyone, where no one can cheat, and everyone trusts the records because they all match.
