Understanding 51% Attacks: The Security Vulnerability in Blockchain Technology

 A 51% attack refers to a potential vulnerability within blockchain networks, particularly in Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems. It occurs when an individual or group gains control of more than 50% of the network’s computing power (hashrate), granting them the ability to disrupt the network’s functioning.
