Ledger Overview

This part describes the Algorand Ledger, which records the history and the state of the distributed system, defining its entities (e.g., blocks, transactions, accounts, assets, applications, etc.).

It also covers the processes of ingesting, verifying, prioritizing, and enqueuing transactions in the transaction pool, and finally assembly and appending blocks to commit their state transition.
