  Blockchain technology detects double spending by using a consensus mechanism called proof of work. When a transaction is made, it is added to a block and miners compete to solve a complex mathematical puzzle. The first miner to solve the puzzle gets to add the block to the blockchain and is rewarded with newly minted coins. This process ensures that only one version of the blockchain exists, preventing double spending.

  Detecting double spending in blockchain technology is achieved through the decentralized nature of the network. Each transaction is verified by multiple nodes in the network, and a consensus is reached on the validity of the transaction. If a user attempts to spend the same digital currency twice, the network will reject the second transaction as it conflicts with the existing transaction history.
