E. Security Solutions for Partially Centralized Deployments

Despite some MTT Sports functionalities being deployed on centralized servers, MTT Network enhances overall system security, fairness, and transparency by combining blockchain technology with a series of security measures. The following outlines how MTT Sports overcomes security challenges posed by centralized deployments to ensure player rights and a fair gaming experience.

Deploying a Texas Hold'em application on centralized servers may face the following security risks and challenges:

• Data Tampering and Cheating: Centralized servers are vulnerable to attacks or internal tampering, potentially leading to unfair game outcomes.

• Server Failures and Single Points of Failure: Centralized architectures are susceptible to server failures, potentially causing service disruptions or data loss.

• User Privacy and Funds Security: Players' personal information and transaction data stored on centralized servers may be at risk of exposure or theft.

• Trust Issues: Players must trust the operators of centralized servers, which conflicts with the decentralized, trustless principles of blockchain technology.
