Beginners Guide

The former Bitcoin Core Developer Mike Hearn was the Lead Developer of Corda, which uses as key property the "Need-To-Know-Principle". Corda has neither blocks nor a global ledger. Therefore, Corda is more a Blockchain-inspired Distributed Ledger. None of the participants knows all the facts. Facts result from rules defined in smart contracts and chain of transactions. Corda uses notary services to prevent Double-spending. Each contract is supervised by a notary service.
