# Perpova Blog > Capturing Nature for IT ## Posts - [Same Principle, Different Era: The Tripiṭaka as a Distributed Ledger Maintained by Monks](https://www.perpova.com/blog/tripitaka-to-dlt-ancient-distributed-ledger/): DLT in Buddhist Tripitaka started in ancient times. Monks kept a huge shared record of knowledge accurate for centuries. Empires rose and fell, wars raged, and no single leader controlled it. This record was the Tripiṭaka, an ancient Buddhist collection of teachings preserved through careful oral tradition before writing. Similarly, what these monks did with the Tripiṭaka mirrors modern Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Although people often hear “blockchain” with Bitcoin or Ethereum, DLT is the wider base for such systems. Yet, many think DLT is a 2000s invention needing advanced computers. In fact, the core idea existed over 2,500 years ago. Monks showed DLT works without digital… Continue readingSame Principle, Different Era: The Tripiṭaka as a Distributed Ledger Maintained by Monks - [What Is an API?
