Replicated Ledger

A replicated ledger is a duplicate of a distributed ledger in a cryptocurrency network. In a cryptocurrency network, all nodes have a copy of the ledger, which is used to track ownership of the currency. When a transaction is made, it is broadcast to all nodes, and each node updates its own copy of the ledger.

The replicated ledger is used to ensure that all nodes have the same copy of the ledger. If there is a discrepancy, the network will fork, and the two versions of the ledger will be used to track two different currencies.
