Meaning that there is safety and protection in the way this database operates. By its very nature, the system makes an irreversible timeline of data when implemented in a decentralised manner. This means that a significant degree of trust and certainty build into the system, which the perhaps traditional way of transacting has fallen short on. The result often was a denial of agreement or how reached it.
