Peer-to-Peer

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network structure related to blockchain technology is generally considered a decentralized network and is designed to work in the best interests of all parties involved. A peer-to-peer blockchain network works by connecting several computers (or nodes) together so that they can work together. This process creates a censorship-resistant and public computer network that allows important data and other functionality to be shared over the network.
