# A World View Backed by Proof of Work Thanks to working blockchains, entities across the networks can hold and manage only the transaction data they need with the full proof that it was validated by the network and without the burdensome task of holding and managing the millions of other transactions that are unrelated to their business. Working blockchains are an important concept to understand when building applications and platforms that use the BSV Blockchain, as they give the platform operator and its users a path back to the proof of work generated during the timestamping process. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
