Blockchain Basics
Understand the structure and function of a blockchain as a decentralized, digital ledger.
Here are some key aspects you can learn and explore on the platform:
On-Chain / Off-Chain Safety
Cryptography: Blockchain networks use advanced cryptographic techniques to secure transactions, wallets, and smart contracts. Public-key cryptography (PKC) is used to ensure the integrity and authenticity of transactions.
Consensus Algorithms: Consensus algorithms, such as Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), ensure that all nodes on the network agree on the state of the blockchain, preventing malicious actors from altering the network.
Transaction Validation: Transactions are validated on the blockchain through a process called "transaction verification," which ensures that transactions are valid and compliant with network rules.
Block Hashing: Each block is hashed and linked to the previous block, creating a chain of blocks that makes it difficult to alter or manipulate the blockchain.
Smart Contract Security: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement written directly into lines of code. Secure coding practices, such as secure coding guidelines and regular testing, help prevent vulnerabilities in smart contracts.
Wallet Security: Wallet security is crucial in preventing unauthorized access to cryptocurrency assets. Users should use secure wallets with strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and regular backups.
Key Management: Key management is essential for securing private keys, which are used to access cryptocurrency accounts. This includes using secure key storage solutions, such as hardware wallets, and implementing strong password policies.
Private Key Protection: Private keys should be kept confidential and protected from unauthorized access. This includes using secure communication channels, such as Tor or VPNs, when accessing cryptocurrency accounts.
Multi-Factor Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an additional layer of security to wallet login processes, making it more difficult for attackers to gain unauthorized access.
Regular Updates: Regular updates and maintenance are essential for keeping wallets and software up-to-date with the latest security patches and features.
Use Strong Passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for all accounts and wallets.
