Chain Safety refers to the measures and protocols implemented to protect a blockchain network from malicious attacks, vulnerabilities, and operational failures. This includes cryptographic security, consensus mechanism robustness, and resistance to various forms of exploitation. Ensuring chain safety maintains the integrity and reliability of all transactions and data recorded on the ledger. It is essential for user trust and network stability.
Context
The concept of Chain Safety is a constant point of discussion in the cryptocurrency world, especially following incidents of hacks or protocol exploits. Debates often concern the trade-offs between decentralization, security, and scalability in various blockchain designs. Future developments will concentrate on formal verification methods for smart contracts and advanced intrusion detection systems to fortify network defenses.
This research systematically compares the formal security properties of Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake, clarifying their inherent guarantees and trade-offs.
