A cryptocurrency blockchain is constructed on the foundation of transactions. A blockchain is a collection of linked data blocks that include essential information such as cryptographic hashes. The blocks that make up a blockchain are collections of data transactions added to the ledger's end. This adds a degree of transparency, allowing network participants to see their transactions added (chained) to the blockchain.

Due to their political independence and essentially impenetrable data security, cryptocurrency users enjoy benefits not available to users of traditional fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, and the financial systems that those currencies support.
Yet some crypto watchers have raised red flags over SafeMoon’s unusual structure. It charges a 10% fee to buy tokens and another 10% to sell -- almost unheard of in the digital currency world. Half of these fees are paid to owners as an incentive to keep holding and the other half goes into a liquidity pool controlled by the developers. SafeMoon calls itself a DeFi token, or one that uses decentralized finance to govern functions through software, but it has a chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Critics also worry about the discretionary nature of the “manual” coin burns used to adjust its circulation.
