Blockchain Auditability

Definition

Blockchain auditability refers to the capacity for external verification of transactions and records on a blockchain. This property ensures that all data stored on a distributed ledger is transparent, immutable, and traceable, allowing any authorized party to review its history. It enables independent assessment of financial movements, supply chain data, or other recorded events without relying on a central authority. The cryptographic links between blocks guarantee the integrity of the historical data, preventing tampering.
