  A ledger in the context of cryptocurrencies refers to a decentralized and transparent record of all transactions that have ever taken place on a blockchain. It serves as a public database that keeps track of the ownership and transfer of digital assets. The ledger is maintained by a network of computers, known as nodes, which validate and verify transactions. Each transaction is added to a block, which is then linked to the previous blocks, forming a chain of blocks, hence the term 'blockchain'. This technology ensures the integrity and security of transactions, as it is nearly impossible to alter or tamper with the information stored on the ledger.

  Think of a ledger as a digital version of a traditional accounting book. It keeps a record of all the transactions made using cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Unlike traditional ledgers, which are usually controlled by a central authority, cryptocurrency ledgers are decentralized and maintained by a network of computers. This decentralized nature eliminates the need for intermediaries, such as banks, and allows for peer-to-peer transactions. The ledger is constantly updated and synchronized across all the computers in the network, ensuring transparency and preventing fraud.
