Immutability is a fundamental property of blockchain technology where data, once recorded on the blockchain, cannot be altered or deleted. Implemented through cryptographic hash functions and distributed consensus mechanisms, this characteristic ensures data integrity and trustworthiness across the network. Immutability can be categorized as physical (tamper-resistance at the technical level) or logical (constraints at the consensus rule level).
