Blockchain, touted as a revolutionary technology, faces hurdles in its evolution due to the human factor. The promises of decentralized systems are hindered by human behavior influencing protocol configurations. Security vulnerabilities arise from human errors during development, demanding regular audits and attack threat modeling.
