Abstract: This study aims to investigate the best cryptographic algorithm for Blockchain Networks. The rapid adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies has generated worries regarding their long-term security, specifically concerning the cryptographic algorithms used to protect these systems. Despite well-established cryptographic technologies, blockchain is not inherently secure and requires a comprehensive assessment to defend against cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. Therefore, this research has been conducted and aims to discover the best cryptographic algorithms for cryptocurrency performance among the SHA-256, Keccak-256, SHA-512, and Keccak-512. Experiments are conducted and the conclusion can be made by analysing the results, and the best cryptographic algorithm is selected for the cryptocurrency blockchain system.
