# Why we use Blockchain

ivault is built with blockchain technology for five key reasons:

1. **Give back control**: users control their data with a private key
2. **Accountability and trust**: every transaction is unambiguously verified
3. **Total transparency**: immutable record-keeping on the ledger means seamless lending and borrowing
4. **Cut the middleman**: a real peer-to-peer shareconomy, without intermediaries
5. **Stability**: the ivault token has its own ecosystem, so it’s resistant to economic pressures like inflation.
