Abstract
This study aims to present a method using event sourcing patterns and blockchain as a way to cope with vulnerabilities in memory manipulation at the client level. To verify the plan, the method of running the memory operation application was analyzed, and the performance was compared and analyzed when the memory operation prevention plan was applied by fabricating a test application. As a result of the analysis, the usage of memory increased compared to the method of XOR operation by storing major data in one memory, but it was possible to prevent the operation of the memory operation program without significantly affecting the performance of the game.
