P eer-to-peer systems are distributed programming systems that comprise of nodes (singular computers), which make their computational resources (e.g., processing power, stockpiling limit, or data conveyance) straightforwardly accessible to another. When joining a peer-to-peer system, users transform their computers into nodes of the system that are equivalent to their privileges and jobs. In spite of the fact that users may vary regarding the resources they contribute, every one of the nodes in the system has the equivalent functional ability and duty. Consequently, the computers of all users are the two providers and consumers of resources. For instance, in a peer-to-peer document sharing system, the individual records are put away on the users' machines. At the point when somebody needs to download a document in such a system, the person in question is downloading it from someone else's machine, which could be the nearby neighbor or somebody found across the world.

Peer-to-peer systems are distributed computer systems by development since they are made of individual nodes that offer their computational resources, among others. In any case, there are likewise peer-to-peer systems that still use elements of centralization. Centralized peer-to-peer systems maintain focal nodes to encourage the collaboration between peers, to maintain indexes that portray the administrations offered by the peer nodes, or to perform look-ups and to distinguish proof of the nodes. Centralized peer-to-peer systems commonly use a mixture of architecture. Such architecture permits consolidating the benefits of centralized and distributed registering. Then again, purely distributed peer-to-peer systems don't have any element of focal control or coordination. Consequently, all nodes in those systems play out similar errands, acting both as suppliers and consumers of resources and administrations. A case of a centralized peer-to-peer system is Napster, which kept up the main database of all nodes associated with the system and the tunes accessible on these nodes.

The blockchain can be viewed as an apparatus for achieving and maintaining integrity in distributed systems. Purely distributed peer-to-peer systems can utilize the blockchain so as to achieve and to maintain system integrity. Thus, the link between purely distributed peer-to-peer systems and the blockchain is its use for achieving and maintaining integrity in purely distributed systems.

The connection between purely distributed peer-to-peer systems to the blockchain is that the previous uses the former as a device to achieve and maintain integrity. Subsequently, the contention that clarifies the energy about and the potential of the blockchain is: Purely distributed peer-to-peer systems have an immense business potential as they can supplant centralized systems and change entire ventures because of disintermediation. Since a distributed peer-to-peer systems may use the blockchain for achieving and maintaining integrity, the blockchain becomes significant also. Notwithstanding, the significant truth that energizes people is the disintermediation. The blockchain is just a necessary task that achieves that.
