Metadata

Metadata in the context of blockchain refers to information that describes and gives context to other data, such as transaction time, involved parties, amounts, and the transaction’s purpose.

While the actual data (e.g., transactions) represents the core value, metadata plays a crucial role in ensuring that this data is understood, traceable, and verifiable.

It’s often used in auditing, compliance, and improving the transparency and security of blockchain systems. In blockchain, metadata also helps in categorizing and organizing data for better searchability and access.
