Abstract

Tehnologija ulančanih blokova (engl. blockchain technology) jedno je od novijih rješenja za
pohranu podataka. Ova tehnologija radi na temelju distribuiranog knjigovodstva, kriptografije
i distribuiranog konsenzusa. Pomoću pametnih ugovora tj. programa zapisanih na blockchainu
služi kao novi sustav pohrane i dijeljenja podataka. Konkurira tradicionalnim vrstama pohrane
podataka poput pohranjivanja na računalni oblak jer nudi decentralizaciju, nepromjenjivost
podataka i transparentnost. Međutim, blockchain ima i svoje mane, poput ograničene
skalabilnosti, visokog troška transakcija, nedostatka regulacije i standardizacije te same
kompleksnosti tehnologije. Neke od potencijalnih primjena blockchain tehnologije za pohranu
podataka možemo naći u lancu opskrbe, zdravstvenoj industriji i financijskom sektoru. Iako je
blockchain tehnologija još u ranim fazama razvoja, već nam nudi brojna rješenja za određene
probleme na koje nailazimo prilikom tradicionalne pohrane podataka. Na nama je da
zajedničkim naporima i međusobnom suradnjom nastavimo unaprjeđivati blockchain
tehnologiju kako bismo u budućnosti mogli iskoristiti njen puni potencijal te unijeti kvalitetne
promjene u razne postojeće industrije.

Abstract (english)

Blockchain technology is one of the newer solutions for data storage. This technology is
based on a distributed ledger, cryptography, and distributed consensus. Using smart contracts
or programs deployed on the blockchain, it serves as a new system for storing and sharing
data. It competes with traditional data storage methods such as cloud storage because it offers
decentralization, data immutability, and transparency. However, blockchain also has its
drawbacks, such as limited scalability, high transaction costs, lack of regulation and
standardization, and the complexity of the technology itself. Some potential applications of
blockchain technology for data storage can be found in supply chains, the healthcare industry,
and the financial sector. Although blockchain technology is still in its early stages of
development, it already provides us with numerous solutions to certain problems encountered
in traditional data storage. It is up to us to continue improving blockchain technology through
collaborative efforts and cooperation so that we can fully harness its potential and bring about
meaningful changes in various existing industries.
