Public ledger access refers to the ability for anyone to view and verify all transactions recorded on a public blockchain network. This transparency is a core characteristic of many decentralized ledgers, allowing for independent auditing and accountability. While transaction details are visible, participant identities often remain pseudonymous. It provides a foundational level of trust and verifiability within the system.
