What is

51% attack

?

When the mining reward is low, it is logical that only a few miners validate blocks. At this point, a miner can easily hold 51% of the network's computing power. This is when a 51% attack occurs. The miner can then start mining fraudulent transactions, such as double spending, and invalidate other transactions.
