## Why Edge Protocol is Safe and Secure?

The Edge Blockchain employs several security measures to ensure the safety and security of the network. These include a Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanism, which ensures that the network can tolerate a certain degree of malicious behavior without compromising the security of the network. The Edge Blockchain also employs a Secure Multi-Party Computation protocol, which enables secure and efficient communication between different nodes on the network.
