Main Story

Blocky had never seen a place so fascinating.

One night, he had a dream—a dream where he traveled through time and space, landing in a magical world. Before he could figure out what was happening, he found himself standing at the gates of a fantastical city. Carved into the gate were the words: City of Trust.

As Blocky looked up, he heard a familiar voice. “Hi Blocky! Are you ready to explore the City of Trust with me? This is a magical world!”

It was his good friend, Gatsby. Curious, Blocky asked, “A magical world? Does this city really have magic?”

Gatsby laughed and said, “Of course! In the City of Trust, everyone has their own magical abilities. They can create, trade, and share all kinds of extraordinary items and treasures. But the city has faced many problems because the residents don’t always trust each other, often arguing fiercely over trade disputes.”

Blocky asked, puzzled, “How did they eventually solve this?”

With a mysterious wave of his hand, Gatsby produced a heavy book, its pages glowing with a strange light.

“This is the City of Trust’s Unalterable Magic Ledger,” Gatsby explained. “It records every single transaction, and once it’s written, no one can change it. Even better, everyone in the City of Trust has a copy of this ledger, and it updates automatically with each transaction, keeping everything transparent for everyone.”

Gatsby added, “This magic ledger is also called a ‘blockchain’ because each record is like a ‘block’ connected in chronological order, forming the city’s chain of transactions.”

Blocky’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as he followed Gatsby into the City of Trust, beginning his magical adventure.

A few days later, Gatsby needed to purchase a rare herb. He found a merchant in the marketplace, but remembering a time when he had been cheated in a previous trade, he decided to use the magic ledger to ensure the transaction was transparent and secure. Everyone in the city could see the details of the trade recorded in the ledger. If there were any issues with the herb, other residents would immediately notify Gatsby.

The transaction was completed smoothly, and Gatsby felt reassured, knowing that no one could secretly alter the record. Blocky exclaimed in amazement, “This ledger is incredible—it’s like transparent magic!”

The Core Powers of the Magic Ledger

Blocky learned three key features of the magic ledger during this adventure:

**1. Unalterable: **Every transaction is like words carved into a magical stone—no one can change them.**2. Distributed: **Every resident’s magical crystal contains a copy of the ledger, making the records more reliable.**3. Transparent: **Anyone can view the transaction history, reducing mistrust.

From then on, the residents of the City of Trust no longer worried about their trades. Transactions became more transparent and open, and Blocky’s magical adventure was only just beginning!
