The genesis block is more or less like the first brick in a blockchain’s foundation. It becomes the first block in the chain, and everything else builds on top of it. For instance, in Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto (who is still to some extent shrouded in mystery) created the genesis block on January 3rd, 2009. The reason why this was so important was that inside this block there was an embedded message that has since become quite famous among Bitcoin fans. It’s like the opening line of a novel that sets the tone for everything that comes after.
What makes the genesis block so cool is that it is hardcoded into blockchain software and can never be changed. It is always there serving as kind of a permanent landmark in the network’s history. Each subsequent block links back to this original one thus making it a starting point for entire system. Additionally, genesis block stipulated initial rules for network including difficulty level of mining new blocks and rewards for miners laying foundation needed for further development of blockchain.
