Topicality. The protection of the consensus mechanism in blockchain systems is one of the most important directions in the improvement of decentralized blockchain systems, this mechanism is responsible for validating transactions and confirming that transactions are authentic, that is, this mechanism is responsible for protecting resources and money in the system, as well as protecting against various vulnerabilities created by decentralization. so analyzing such vulnerabilities and protecting the consensus mechanism is a key topic of decentralized blockchain security The goal of this work is a description of the main implications and recommendations for choosing an approach to protection and promoting a consensus mechanism in decentralized blockchain systems. The subject of the research is the impact of the consensus mechanism in decentralized blockchain systems. The subject of research is the consensus mechanism of decentralized blockchain systems. Results. The work analyzed the consensus mechanism of decentralized blockchain systems, their differences and methods of protection from them. Conclusions. The consensus mechanism of a decentralized blockchain is unlikely to be susceptible to theft through its decentralized nature, but it is possible to reduce the risks to a minimum by introducing methods, and their reasonable combination to help reduce the type of risks and any threats to a minimum.Downloads
