A distributed ledger technology (DLT) is basically a synchronized database duplicated across many PCs, therefore doing away with the need for a central authority. Rather, participants together approve and log changes using a consensus algorithm, so guaranteeing that all nodes keep a same and accepted view of the data. This shared state helps DLTs to be tamper-resistant and reduces their reliance on single trusted middlemen, therefore guaranteeing their security and transparency.
A certain kind of distributed ledger, blockchain, arranges data into a chain of blocks. Not all DLTs are blockchains, however all blockchains are. Some DLT systems use different structures, like notary-based or transaction-by-transaction consensus, which could have benefits over the block-chaining approach in terms of privacy or scalability. In finance, this difference is very important since different DLT designs can fit different efficiency and secrecy requirements.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, shared-state ideas and DLT take top priority. They let unidentifiable members agree on asset ownership and transaction history free from a single operator. For networks like Bitcoin, the common state is the official record of all transactions and balances. More complicated systems like Ethereum let the shared state include application-specific data and smart contract information, therefore supporting decentralized apps and digital assets.
