Censorship Resistance

Censorship resistance refers to a system’s ability to function without interference or control by centralized authorities, ensuring that transactions or data cannot be blocked, altered, or removed by external forces. In the context of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, censorship resistance is a key feature that allows users to transact freely without relying on intermediaries like governments or financial institutions. This is possible because blockchain networks are decentralized and operated by a distributed group of nodes, making it nearly impossible for any single entity to take control and censor the network. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum exemplify censorship resistance, as they allow anyone to send and receive funds without fear of censorship or seizure, promoting financial freedom.
