On-Chain Data Manipulation

Definition

On-Chain Data Manipulation is the act of deliberately altering or fabricating information recorded on a blockchain ledger to achieve a malicious outcome. This can involve exploiting smart contract vulnerabilities, compromising network nodes, or executing carefully timed transactions to influence market prices or protocol operations unfairly. Such manipulation undermines the integrity and trust in decentralized systems. It is a severe breach of data integrity.
