PM Muscat stated, “We will now be showing people the added value of this technology through applying it to something which they will use in their daily lives. Such a contract cannot be tampered with and only those authorized will be able to access it. This shows how the digital transformation will affect their lives.”
Blockchain stores transactions or contracts in a decentralized form across different locations and people (nodes), which eliminates the involvement of a third party and thereby keeps a check against manipulation.
Compared to centralized databases which are prone to cyber-attacks, distributed ledgers are inherently harder to attack because all the distributed copies need to be attacked simultaneously for an attack to be successful, making it resistant to malicious changes by a single party, hence making the Rent Contracts Tamper-Proof.
