Atomic rejection refers to a transaction failing entirely if any single component within it cannot be executed successfully. This mechanism ensures that operations are treated as indivisible units, either completing fully or not at all. It prevents partial updates or inconsistencies across a system, preserving data integrity. This property is crucial for maintaining reliable state changes in distributed ledgers.
Context
In blockchain and distributed ledger systems, atomic rejection is a fundamental property that guards against corrupted data and inconsistent states, particularly in multi-step transactions like atomic swaps. News regarding smart contract vulnerabilities or transaction failures often relates to the absence or improper implementation of atomicity. Developers continually work to guarantee atomic execution across increasingly complex cross-chain operations, which remains a technical challenge.
Kronos introduces a generic sharding consensus with a jointly managed buffer and batch certification, achieving secure, atomic cross-shard transactions with optimal overhead.
