Double Spend

Double spend refers to the act of spending the same cryptocurrency more than once. This can happen if the sender of the transaction is able to reverse the transaction before it is confirmed on the blockchain. However, double spending is prevented on blockchain networks through their consensus mechanisms, which ensures that each transaction is verified and recorded only once.
