Block
Blocks are files where data pertaining to the blockchain network are permanently recorded. A block records some or all of the most recent blockchain transactions that have not yet entered any prior blocks. Thus, a block is like a page of a ledger or record book. Each time a block is ‘completed’, it gives way to the next block in the blockchain. A block is thus a permanent store of records which, once written, cannot be altered or removed.[2]
