51% attack
Revision as of 05:17, 20 April 2022 by Todd Price (talk | contribs)
A hypothetical attack where a node with more than 50% of the network hash power seeks to produce blocks with double spends, invalid transactions or ruleset violations.
Such an attack cannot be performed without a node committing significant costly resources while leaving an immutable evidence trail which can be forensically analysed.
No such attack has ever been executed successfully.
