A Review on BlockChain Security

Blockchain is a decentralized technology. It has extensive power to solve business problems. Cryptography secures the records in a blockchain transaction and each transaction is tied to previous transactions or records. Blockchain transactions are validated by algorithms on the nodes. A single entity cannot create a transaction. Finally, blockchains provide transparency, giving each participant the ability to monitor the transactions at any time. Smart contract make secure transaction which helps to avoid third party disruption. Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts. This enables developers to create markets move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past. The main features of blockchain are Decentralization, Immutability Faster dealings, Transaction and validation happens in seconds etc..
