I'm curious to know, which network out of the many in the 
cryptocurrency and finance world is considered public? By public, I mean one that is open and accessible to anyone, without any restrictions or permissions required to participate. Are we talking about a blockchain network that allows for transparency, allowing users to see transactions and activity on the network? Or perhaps a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that promotes openness and inclusivity? I'm eager to learn more about the specifics of a public network in this context.

    A public network is a type of network that is available to the general public. It allows anyone to connect without any form of authorization or password.

    This accessibility is what makes public networks convenient for users who need quick internet access. However, it also poses certain risks due to its unsecured nature.

    In addition to public Wi-Fi hotspots, there are other types of public networks, such as cellular data networks. While these networks may require a password or subscription, they are still considered public because they are accessible to anyone with a compatible device.

    Public Wi-Fi hotspots, commonly found in coffee shops, airports, and hotels, are prime examples of public networks. They offer internet access to anyone who is within range and has a compatible device.

    The convenience of these hotspots makes them popular among travelers and those who need to access the internet on the go. However, users should be cautious when connecting to them.
