#### NFT security {#nft-security}

Ethereum's security comes from its consensus mechanism which uses proof-of-stake. Validators deposit 32 ETH into a contract that can be destroyed if they misbehave. The system is designed to strongly economically disincentivize malicious actions, making Ethereum effectively tamper-proof. This is what makes NFTs possible. Once the block containing your NFT transaction becomes finalized it would cost an attacker millions of ETH to change it. Anyone running Ethereum software would immediately be able to detect dishonest tampering with an NFT and the bad actor would be economically penalized and ejected from the pool of validators to prevent it from happening.

Security issues relating to NFTs are most often related to phishing scams, smart contract vulnerabilities or user errors (such as inadvertently exposing private keys), making good wallet security critical for NFT owners.
