GLOSSARY

Block header

A block header is a summary of metadata for a specific block in a blockchain. It contains essential information like the block's hash, the previous block's hash, the timestamp, and the root of the Merkle tree of transactions. The block header plays a vital role in linking blocks together, ensuring the integrity of the blockchain and allowing quick validation of block contents by nodes.
