A security guarantee refers to the assurance of protection against unauthorized access, manipulation, or loss of assets or data within a system. In blockchain contexts, this is achieved through cryptographic methods, decentralized consensus, and network redundancy. It provides confidence in the integrity and availability of digital holdings and transactions. Such guarantees are fundamental to trust in digital asset systems.
