Blockchain is an essential element of the tokenized property industry. For example, NOVA uses Ethereum, a public blockchain for dApps development. But are public blockchains actually safe? Let’s figure out.
What are public blockchains?
Public blockchains are decentralized digital ledgers that allow anyone to join, participate in, and view the network. Examples include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. These blockchains operate without a central authority, relying instead on a distributed network of computers (nodes) that collectively validate and record transactions.
All data on a public blockchain is transparent and immutable, meaning once information is added, it cannot be changed or deleted.
Public and private blockchain: What’s the difference?
Unlike public blockchains, private blockchains restrict access to specific participants, typically controlled by a single organization or consortium. Private blockchains are permissioned networks where only authorized users can validate transactions or view data.
This setup offers greater control, privacy, and faster transaction speeds but sacrifices decentralization. In contrast, public blockchains prioritize openness and trustlessness, allowing anyone around the world to participate without needing permission.
Are they secure?
Public blockchains are generally considered secure, thanks to several key factors:
- Decentralization. With thousands of nodes spread globally, it is extremely difficult for any single entity to control the network or alter data.
- Consensus mechanisms. Protocols like Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) require participants to commit resources (computing power or stake) to validate transactions honestly, deterring malicious activity.
- Cryptography. Advanced cryptographic techniques protect transaction data and ensure only authorized parties can initiate valid transfers.
- Immutability. Once transactions are confirmed and added to the blockchain, they cannot be modified or deleted, preventing fraud and tampering.
- Transparency. Public visibility of all transactions allows anyone to audit the network, increasing trust and reducing the chances of hidden vulnerabilities.
Why does NOVA use a public blockchain?
In NOVA, we use Ethereum, one of the most widely used public blockchains in the world. One of the main reasons for that is security. Because of the public blockchain’s decentralized nature, the risk of fraud is minimized – basically, no one can manipulate it independently. Also, public blockchains use smart contracts – a reliable and user-friendly instrument that automates everything: from property token issuance to token selling and more. That makes deals in real estate as easy as possible.
Protect your investments with blockchain
Public blockchain is the most reliable way to trade real estate tokens available at the moment. It provides the level of security and convenience that classic real estate contracts will never be able to provide. No one can manipulate blockchain because no one can control it. Tokenized real estate protects both seller and customer from double-selling and other types of fraud you can often encounter on the classic market.
