## Every claim under this term

2 claims across 2 works, 2017 to 2019.

**2017**

- [2959730-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2959730-020) [mechanism/argued] -- Cryptographic hashing makes blockchain manipulation immediately detectable because the hash incorporates all previous transactions, so that even a single digit change produces a different hash value.
  > The smallest change to the blockchain, even a single digit/value, results in a different hash value. A different hash value makes any form of manipulation immediately detectable.

**2019**

- [3373393-024](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3373393-024) [mechanism/argued] -- Cryptographic hashes increase blockchain security and remove the trust barriers in agency relationships that otherwise require monitoring of agents and generate agency costs.
  > Cryptographic hashes used in blockchain technology further increase blockchain security and removes trust barriers in agency relationships that require monitoring of agents and create agency costs.
