  Blockchain solves the problem of double-spending in digital currencies by using a decentralized network of computers, known as nodes, to validate and record transactions. When a transaction occurs, it is broadcasted to the network, and the nodes work together to verify its validity. Once the transaction is confirmed, it is added to a block, which is then added to the blockchain. The blockchain serves as a public ledger that contains a record of all transactions. By having multiple nodes verify each transaction, blockchain ensures that no double-spending can occur. If someone tries to spend the same digital currency unit twice, the nodes will reject the second transaction as invalid.

  The problem of double-spending in digital currencies is solved by blockchain through a process called consensus. Consensus is achieved through a consensus algorithm, such as Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, which requires participants in the network to solve complex mathematical problems or prove ownership of a certain amount of digital currency. This ensures that only legitimate transactions are added to the blockchain, preventing double-spending. Additionally, the decentralized nature of blockchain means that there is no central authority controlling the network, making it difficult for malicious actors to manipulate transactions and engage in double-spending.
