Transactions in the blockchain are verified using nodes which are decentralized networks of devices. They will be stamped on time and connected to the previously done transaction which creates a chronological series of transactions. The transactions are irreversible and successive which forms the blockchain. They are also updated and synchronized on all devices. This means that no third parties are allowed to modify the payment or reverse it.

Not only transactions, but the latter also applies to insurances, loans and the tracking of goods.
