Questions

Question 1 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the primary goal of blockchain technology in terms of privacy and anonymity?

  1. To ensure that all transactions are publicly visible and traceable.
  2. To provide complete anonymity to users and hide all transaction details.
  3. To strike a balance between transparency and privacy, allowing users to control their data visibility.
  4. To prioritize scalability and performance over privacy considerations.
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a common privacy-enhancing technique used in blockchain systems?

  1. Zero-knowledge proofs
  2. Ring signatures
  3. Proof-of-work
  4. Coin mixing
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the main purpose of zero-knowledge proofs in blockchain privacy?

  1. To allow users to prove their identity without revealing any personal information.
  2. To hide the sender and receiver addresses in a transaction.
  3. To prevent double-spending of digital assets.
  4. To increase the transaction throughput of a blockchain network.
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
