What's Inside

The blockchain is a system in which a shared record of transactions made in cryptocurrencies is maintained across several computers working together to form a decentralized peer-to-peer network.

In this report, we discuss how the blockchain forms the basis of the metaverse, explore the history and technological infrastructure of blockchains, and detail what brands and retailers should know.

This report is part of our Building Blocks of the Metaverse series, which presents insights into the core technological components of the retail metaverse, including important details for retailers to know in establishing a presence and operating in the virtual space.
