Homonym: chains (Restraints)
A chain is a series of connected links or rings, typically made of metal, that can be used for various purposes. Chains are commonly used for lifting heavy objects, securing items, or transmitting power in machines. They come in different sizes and strengths, depending on their intended use.
Chains can also refer to a sequence of events or elements that are linked together. For example, in a supply chain, different stages of production and distribution are connected to deliver a product to consumers. Similarly, in a blockchain, data is stored in a series of linked blocks, ensuring security and transparency in digital transactions.
