Immutability
Derived node: assembled mechanically from the claims carrying immutability. A roster, not an adjudicated definition.
Every claim under this term
- 2939127-014 : Because a public blockchain is genuinely public and immutable, it increases transparency while simultaneously and significantly reducing transaction costs.
- 2959730-018 : The decentralized, fully distributed nature of the blockchain makes it practically impossible to reverse, alter, or erase information recorded in it.
- 2959730-020 : 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.
- 2992962-008 : Anonymity survives the blockchain's permanent public record because a new private key can be created for each transaction, so although public key addresses are stored eternally, each transaction allow
- 2992962-018 : To institute traditional remedies where a smart contract transaction disadvantages one of the parties, courts would have to change the blockchain, and that is computationally and practically impossibl
- 2998033-001 : Blockchain technology lowers transaction costs by eliminating intermediaries, and it substitutes immutability and cryptography for the trust that intermediaries previously supplied.
- 3002908-009 : The immutability and permanent recording built into blockchain technology may be the root of legal difficulties in European countries that recognize a right to be forgotten or comparable privacy right
- 3071378-003 : Because the public blockchain is public and immutable, the technology increases transparency while significantly reducing transaction costs, and intermediaries including lawyers are replaced by code,
- 3071378-005 : Because each new block's hash value is generated from all previous transactions, the smallest change to the blockchain produces a different hash value, which makes any form of manipulation immediately
- 3227933-014 : Network connectivity is what makes blockchain records practically immutable, because it allows multiple identical copies of the ledger to exist simultaneously across the network.
- 3373393-019 : The immutability of the blockchain and its cryptographic security systems provide transactional guarantees that create trust between principals and agents in the integrity of their contractual relatio
- 3373393-038 : Without a decentralized human backstop to code, the immutability of the blockchain and its cryptographic security systems may not be able to create truly transactional guarantees and trust between pri
- 3606663-035 : The tradeoff between transaction approval speed and immutability has the potential to undermine the DeFi infrastructure in the long run.
- 3652481-009 : The immutability of blockchain ledgers is itself a vulnerability, because once a DAO is in operation its essential construction is very difficult to alter should a bug in the code appear.
- 3709041-003 : Blockchain's formal immutable guarantees, improved data ownership, transparency, network integrity, and data privacy together generate a form of trust that helps optimize both business and society.
- 3782198-029 : A blockchain is immutable because any attempt to edit an old block changes the hash of that information and is immediately rejected by the network that follows the protocol.
- 3782198-030 : The GDPR's removal remedy cannot be enforced against a public blockchain: scrubbing private information would require more than half of the network's nodes to change their entire protocol and restart
- 3808873-042 : A decentralized human backstop to code is a core and often overlooked infrastructure requirement, because without it the immutability of the blockchain and its cryptographic security may not create ge
- 3981021-015 : Because the CHARITYxDAO records governance on distributed ledger technology, all governance votes and endowment allocation decisions are fully publicly visible, auditable by the public at will, and im
- 4957318-039 : The WDAG system preserves legal history as a byproduct of its architecture: all legal precedents are retained within a blockchain based framework in a transparent and immutable format, so historical a
- 5554218-001 : Smart contracts disrupt the foundational principles of contract formation in both common and civil law jurisdictions, specifically offer and acceptance, consideration, and enforceability, because thei
- 5554218-007 : Because blockchain based contracts are immutable, they cannot be altered by judicial order, which creates enforceability problems whenever a dispute arises outside the scope of the code, such as defec
