Blockchain
Blockchain is a distributed database technology which secretively keeps the record of each and every transaction done between buyer and seller. It doesn't require any intermediate source to process your payment. To understand this , let us consider the example suppose you want to buy a mobile phone from some shopping site . You allegedly need some intermediate to ensure your payment process which is a third party. This third party may or may not be reliable. So this problem is solved by blockchain, which ensures no third party interference.
