A 51% attack is a potential attack where a person or group gains a majority of a blockchains hashing power to control the network and its ledger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does A 51% Attack Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever a cryptocurrency exchange happens, the transactions are stored within a block and every couple of seconds or minutes this block is validated by a consensus of nodes or computers attached to the said network. A block is only added to the chain after it has been validated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blockchain contains a record<\/a> of all exchanges that anybody can view at any time, known as a distributed ledger<\/a>. This arrangement of record-keeping is decentralized, meaning no single individual or group has control over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when a majority, or more than 51%, of hashing power is controlled by a single entity the network is disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attackers would control the network meaning they'd be able to prevent some or all transactions from being confirmed, reverse completed transactions allowing double-spending coins, and prevent some miners from mining (through a mining monopoly).((https:\/\/academy.binance.com\/en\/articles\/what-is-a-51-percent-attack))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does A 51% Attack Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever a cryptocurrency exchange happens, the transactions are stored within a block and every couple of seconds or minutes this block is validated by a consensus of nodes or computers attached to the said network. A block is only added to the chain after it has been validated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blockchain contains a record<\/a> of all exchanges that anybody can view at any time, known as a distributed ledger<\/a>. This arrangement of record-keeping is decentralized, meaning no single individual or group has control over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attackers would control the network meaning they'd be able to prevent some or all transactions from being confirmed, reverse completed transactions allowing double-spending coins, and prevent some miners from mining (through a mining monopoly).((https:\/\/academy.binance.com\/en\/articles\/what-is-a-51-percent-attack))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mining hashrate is the amount of processing power a miner or network has to process transactions onto a blockchains ledger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hashrate of a miner<\/a> refers to the number calculations a rig can solve per second, known as a hash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
