Data Immutability

User Data Immutability on TransferChain

Immutability is the property of a system or object that cannot be changed once it has been created. In the context of blockchain and systems, immutability refers to the inability to alter data that has been recorded on a blockchain or in a system.

Immutability on Blockchain

Blockchain technology is designed to be immutable. This means that once a transaction is recorded on a blockchain, it cannot be changed or deleted. This is achieved through a combination of cryptography and distributed consensus mechanisms.

• Cryptography: Each block in a blockchain is hashed using a cryptographic function. This function generates a unique fingerprint for the block. If any data in the block is changed, the hash will also change. This makes it impossible to tamper with the data without invalidating the block.

• Distributed consensus: Blockchain networks are decentralized, meaning that they are not controlled by any single entity. Instead, they are maintained by a network of nodes. When a new transaction is added to the blockchain, it must be verified by the majority of nodes. This makes it very difficult for any malicious actor to alter the blockchain.

Immutability is one of the key features that makes our system so secure. It ensures that data stored on a blockchain is tamper-proof and auditable. This makes blockchain a valuable tool for a variety of applications, such as supply chain management, financial transactions, and voting.
