Abstract
This study explores the transformative impact of blockchain technology on data integrity and security in digital environments. Through a comprehensive assessment of data integrity metrics across prominent blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperledger Fabric, we unveil nuanced differences in immutability and reliability. Our security analysis delves into the cryptographic strength and resistance to unauthorized access, showcasing the outstanding security features of Hyperledger Fabric and Bitcoin, with Ethereum exhibiting commendable yet moderate security levels. The discussions underscore the multifaceted nature of blockchain technology, emphasizing the importance of selecting a platform aligned with specific use cases. Hyperledger Fabric and Bitcoin emerge as strong contenders for applications requiring high integrity and robust security, while Ethereum offers a reliable but moderate alternative. As blockchain technology continues to evolve, this study provides valuable insights for practitioners and researchers, guiding the strategic selection of blockchain platforms to harness their transformative potential in diverse digital environments.
