Ledger
In the crypto context, a ledger is a record-keeping system that tracks all transactions and balances on a blockchain network. It is maintained collectively by network participants rather than a central authority. Each new transaction is verified and added to the ledger in a structured and chronological manner.

Ledgers ensure accurate ownership records and trustless transaction verification.
