Definition ∞ An absolute honest node is a participant in a blockchain network that strictly follows all protocol rules. These nodes validate transactions and blocks without any malicious intent or deviation from the established consensus mechanisms. Their consistent adherence ensures the integrity, security, and trustworthiness of the distributed ledger.
Context ∞ Discussions around absolute honest nodes are fundamental to understanding the security and decentralization properties of blockchain systems. Maintaining a sufficient proportion of these nodes is essential for preventing network attacks and preserving the reliability of the ledger, particularly in proof-of-stake or similar validation models.
