Let’s dive into Cryptographic Hash Functions and how they secure blockchain data! Hashing takes any input—like a message or a transaction—and turns it into a fixed-length string of characters, called a hash. Even the smallest change in the input creates a completely different hash. In blockchain, this ensures that once data is added to a block, it can’t be altered without changing every subsequent block. This makes hacking nearly impossible. Hash functions are the backbone of blockchain security, keeping transactions safe and verified. Want to learn more about blockchain?
