Day 2 of my Blockchain Security & Smart Contract Hacking journey 👇
I learnt about blockchain consensus :
◉ Proof of Work & Proof of Stake
◉ How both can be attacked
Consensus isn’t “1 account = 1 vote.” It’s built on scarce resources CPU, coins, storage.
The more scarce, the more voting power.
Blockchain turns supply & demand into security.

Day 1 of my Blockchain Security & Smart Contract Hacking journey 👇
I learned about the fundamentals of blockchain and how it works.
📍Blockchain does have potential security vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
📍It uses public-key cryptography to secure identities (your blockchain address) and verify transactions.
📍Hash functions power immutability & decentralization critical for data integrity, password storage, and more.
See you tomorrow for Day 2 .

Most people think hacking is about “stealing passwords.”
Wrong.
Real hacking is about understanding systems so deeply that even their creators get surprised.
That’s why ethical hackers get paid more.
If you’re not learning cybersecurity now, you’re already late..
