Basic-Blockchain-in-Python

This project is a simple implementation of a blockchain in Python. It provides a basic understanding of how blockchain technology works and demonstrates creating blocks with hashing capabilities. Features Block Class: Defines the structure of a block in the blockchain, including attributes such as index, timestamp, data, previous hash, and hash. Blockchain Class: Manages the chain of blocks, including methods to create the genesis block, add new blocks, and calculate hashes. Usage To use this project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/anjaliiiii1/Basic-Blockchain-in-Python.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd basic-blockchain-python

3. Run the blockchain.py file to see the example usage:

   python blockchain.py

4. Explore the code to understand how the blockchain is implemented and how blocks are created. Example: Here's a brief example of how to create a block using the provided classes:

block = Block(1, date.datetime.now(), "Hello, World!", "0")

print("Block Index:", block.index)

print("Timestamp:", block.timestamp)

print("Data:", block.data)

print("Previous Hash:", block.previous_hash)
