Block committing is the process by which a newly proposed block of transactions is added to a blockchain and recognized as permanent by the network. This action involves validating transactions, reaching a consensus among network participants, and then finalizing the block’s position in the chain. Once committed, the transactions within that block are considered irreversible. This fundamental step ensures the integrity of the ledger.
Context
The speed and security of block committing are critical metrics for blockchain performance and user experience, especially in high-throughput applications. Debates frequently center on achieving rapid block finality without sacrificing decentralization or security guarantees. Innovations in consensus mechanisms regularly aim to optimize this process.
