Abstract

Blockchain enables decentralization, transparency, and security and faces threats from cybersecurity and legal. The cryptographic algorithms and consensus protocols add a layer of security, while the associated risks of possible 51% attack, inappropriate private key management, and smart contract vulnerabilities still persist. Legal issues arise with the clashes with data protection laws like the GDPR and with the challenge of finding who is liable due to this decentralization. The uncertain legal context around smart contracts is preventing their enforcement. Also emerging threats like quantum computing will require quantum-resistant cryptographic standards. A proposed solution includes better security, adaptive regulations, and collaboration of governments, industry, and academia. An equilibrium will allow for a secure, legally complaint, and sustainable blockchain fit for applications into the future.
