When we mention “blockchain,” we inherently imply “open source.” In the realm of computer science, “open source” refers to a software development approach where the source code (containing all the instructions of a program) is publicly accessible and reusable by anyone. The blockchain and the decentralized applications (dapps) built upon it are almost always open source. This characteristic makes crypto products transparent, free, decentralized, and modifiable by all, aligning with the principles of participation that Web3 aims to embody. Explore the significance of open source in the blockchain and the history of this term in this article.
