Definition ∞ Quantifiable measures assessing a system’s ability to resist external interference or suppression of transactions. These metrics evaluate how difficult it is for an external entity, such as a government or powerful group, to prevent valid transactions from being recorded. They often involve analyzing validator distribution, network topology, and protocol design. A high score indicates a robust and permissionless environment.
Context ∞ Censorship resistance metrics are central to evaluating the integrity and utility of decentralized networks, especially in jurisdictions with restrictive financial controls. The discussion frequently involves trade-offs between transaction throughput and the distribution of network control. Critical future developments include advanced analytical tools to provide more granular and real-time assessments of these properties.
