Block Production Rights

Definition

Block Production Rights refer to the authority granted to a network participant to create and add new blocks of transactions to a blockchain. These rights are typically allocated through a consensus mechanism, such as Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, determining which node can propose the next valid block. Exercising these rights involves validating transactions, bundling them into a block, and broadcasting it to the network. This process is fundamental to maintaining the integrity and progression of a distributed ledger system.
