- Multi-factor and biometric methods ensure only authorized access to blockchain systems, boosting security resilience.
- Dividing blockchain networks into zones limits threat impact, preventing attackers from moving laterally within the system.
- Application-level protections counter advanced attacks, safeguarding smart contracts and dApps in blockchain environments.
It has become possible to identify that the new concept, termed Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA), has been effective in enhancing the security levels of blockchain. This approach prescribes verification at source and is based on the belief that one cannot assume any entity within or outside the business is trustworthy. As the use of blockchain grows in various fields, it is obligatory to develop and enhance protection systems to stand against such threats.
Strong Authentication Methods Ensure Identity Validation
One of the principles of the functioning of ZTA is the necessity to apply high authentication to confirm the identity of clients and devices. This approach calls for the use of MFA, biometrics, and other higher trending validation measures to only allow the right personnel to access. That way, using such methods, organizations minimize occasions where unauthorized personnel gain access to the blockchain networks.
Network Segmentation Creates Layers of Protection
It splits a blockchain environment into various areas of a network and controls data flow and interaction of these areas depending on certain rights. This principle is created to reduce risks that may be channeled by breaches to limited areas. It is hard to arbitrate across intertwined nodes in blockchain systems; however, the attackers cannot traverse from one node to another, which is known as network segmentation.
Layer 7 Threat Prevention and Application Security
ZTA as the post-OSITM model, singled out Layer7, which deals with application level safety. Layer 7 threat prevention focuses on the problem that applications can be threatened with attacks such as SQL injections or phishing at this level. This approach is proactive to guarantee that smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) work safely, without threatening the immutability of the blockchain.

Unified Security for Blockchain Systems
As a result, adopting the zero-trust security concept into Blockchain environments, it forms a highly authoritative defense system, that effectively addresses the rapidly advancing cyber threats. Despite the fact that strong authentication, segmentation, and Layer 7 security measures have not previously been integrated when protecting blockchain ecosystems, this paper has presented a novel solution that integrates all of these components.
