Censorship Resistance

Censorship resistance is a fundamental characteristic of blockchain technology that ensures transactions and data recorded on a blockchain cannot be altered, tampered with, or censored by any single entity or authority.

By utilizing decentralized consensus mechanisms, cryptographic algorithms, and distributed network structures, blockchain networks enable censorship-resistant transactions that are immutable and transparent. Censorship resistance is a key feature of public blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum, where transactions are validated by a network of nodes through a consensus protocol that prevents any single entity from controlling or manipulating the data. This property ensures that transactions on the blockchain are secure, transparent, and resistant to censorship, making blockchain technology a powerful tool for promoting financial inclusion, data integrity, and freedom of expression in a decentralized and trustless manner.
