    Checks and balances in the world of digital currencies refer to the mechanisms put in place to ensure the accuracy and security of transactions. These mechanisms involve multiple parties, such as miners, validators, and nodes, who work together to verify and validate transactions. By decentralizing the verification process, digital currencies minimize the risk of fraud and manipulation. Additionally, cryptographic algorithms and consensus protocols are used to ensure the integrity of the blockchain, making it extremely difficult for any single entity to manipulate the transaction history.

    In simple terms, checks and balances in digital currencies are like having multiple referees in a game. Each referee independently verifies the validity of a transaction, and only when all referees agree, the transaction is considered valid. This system prevents any single entity from having complete control over the network, making digital currencies more secure and resistant to attacks.
