Open-source Blockchain

An open-source blockchain is a blockchain platform whose source code is publicly available for anyone to inspect, modify, and distribute. The platform is not controlled by a central entity but rather by a community of developers. An open-source blockchain primarily focuses on enhancing transparency, innovation, and collaboration.

These blockchains promote interoperability. Developers can leverage the open-source mechanism to build applications that connect smoothly and collaborate with other blockchain platforms. The most significant examples of open-source blockchains are Bitcoin and Ethereum.
