💡What You're Learning

  • • Each block links to the previous
  • • Hashes create permanent links
  • • Chain grows chronologically
  • • New blocks build on the past

🎯 Try These Experiments

Experiment 1: Build a Long Chain

Add 5+ blocks and observe how each new block references the previous one's hash.

Experiment 2: Check Validity

Notice how the "Valid Chain" indicator stays green because all links are intact.

Experiment 3: Reset and Rebuild

Reset your chain and rebuild it with different data. Notice how hashes change but the linking mechanism stays the same.
