A Basic Blockchain Simulation for Cryptocurrency Transactions

1. Introduction to Blockchain
Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that securely records transactions in an
immutable and tamper-resistant way. Each block in the blockchain contains a set of transactions, a
timestamp, a cryptographic hash of the previous block, and a unique hash. The linking of blocks
using cryptographic hash pointers ensures the integrity and security of the data.

This document presents a basic blockchain simulation that:


- Constructs blocks containing transactions
- Uses SHA-256 hashing to link blocks
- Implements a Merkle tree for transaction integrity verification
- Simulates cryptocurrency functions such as coin creation and payment processing
- Demonstrates how the system prevents double-spending

The primary goal of this simulation is to provide a simplified but functional representation of how
blockchain technology operates in the context of a cryptocurrency system.

Blockchain Structure

2. Concepts Implemented in the Simulation


2.1 Block Structure and Hash Linking
Each block consists of:
- A timestamp
- A list of transactions
- A cryptographic hash of the previous block
- A Merkle root for transaction verification
- A nonce used in proof-of-work mining

2.2 Transactions and Merkle Tree


A transaction consists of a sender, a receiver, and an amount. Transactions are hashed and
combined in a Merkle tree to ensure integrity.

Merkle Tree Structure

3. Enhancements and Future Improvements


1. Decentralization - Implementing peer-to-peer networking for transaction validation.
2. Security Enhancements - Using digital signatures for secure transactions.
3. Smart Contract Integration - Enabling automated execution of contractual agreements.
4. Efficient Consensus Mechanisms - Exploring alternatives like Proof-of-Stake (PoS) for better
efficiency.

4. Conclusion
This simulation provides a foundational understanding of blockchain mechanics, including block
creation, transaction verification, proof of work, and Merkle trees. While simplified, it effectively
demonstrates key blockchain principles and lays the groundwork for more advanced
implementations.
