Why I’m Starting This Blog — A Journey of Tech, Health, and Growth

 Welcome to my blog!


I’m Rekha — a tech enthusiast, PhD researcher in blockchain for healthcare, and someone who believes it’s never too late to start something new.


This space will be my digital diary to:

• Explore how blockchain is transforming electronic health records (EHR)

• Share simple tech tips for everyday users

• Reflect on my personal growth, life after 50, and my academic journey


If you’re someone curious about how technology can create impact — or if you’re navigating midlife with purpose — you’ll feel at home here.


Let’s explore, question, and grow together.


Stay tuned!

🔗 The Future of PoW and PoS in Blockchain Technology

Image
 Blockchain technology is growing beyond just cryptocurrencies — it's now being used in apps, healthcare, supply chains, and more. At the heart of blockchain are two key systems: Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) . These help keep the network secure and trusted. 🛠️ Proof of Work (PoW): The Old Guard Proof of Work (PoW), used by Bitcoin, was the first method to secure blockchain networks. It works by having miners solve complex puzzles to verify transactions, making the system safe and reliable. However, it uses a lot of energy, which raises environmental concerns. Over time, mining has also become more centralized, with large companies dominating the process. Plus, PoW can be slow and costly, making it harder to scale for modern use. 🔮 The Future of PoW In the future, PoW may become more eco-friendly by using renewable energy and better hardware. Some blockchains might mix PoW with PoS to improve speed and reduce energy use. While many are moving away from PoW, it ...

🔮 Solving the Blockchain Trilemma: Future Solutions & What Lies Ahead

Image
  As blockchain adoption spreads across industries — from finance and healthcare to supply chain and digital identity — it faces one critical roadblock: the Blockchain Trilemma . First identified by Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin, the trilemma refers to the difficulty of achieving Decentralization, Security, and Scalability simultaneously. Most blockchains today can only fully deliver two. But the good news? We're seeing promising innovations that aim to overcome this challenge. 🧩 Layered Architectures Layer 2 solutions like Rollups (Optimistic and ZK-Rollups) are helping major networks like Ethereum scale without compromising decentralization. They process transactions off the main chain and then finalize them securely on Layer 1. ✅ Better scalability ✅ Maintains security and decentralization ⚙️ Sharding Ethereum 2.0 introduces sharding — splitting the blockchain into smaller pieces ("shards") that work in parallel. This boosts scalability while keeping decentraliza...
