Terms in this story
- Consensus
- The process by which a blockchain’s participants agree on which transactions are valid and in what order.
- Validator
- A node that proposes and attests to blocks on a proof-of-stake chain, with staked coins at risk if it misbehaves.
- Finality
- The point at which a transaction can no longer be reversed, either under the protocol’s rules or because reversing it would be prohibitively costly.
