Qu’est-ce que Timechain ?
An alternative name for the blockchain, drawn from Bitcoin's original source comments, emphasising that its function is ordering events in time.
The framing is useful. Bitcoin's core innovation is not a data structure but a way to establish an agreed order of events without an authority to declare it.
Whether you call it a blockchain or a timechain, the property that matters is that the ordering is expensive to fake and cheap to check.
