Configurable Finality

Definition

Configurable finality describes a blockchain property allowing users or protocols to set conditions for transaction irreversibility. It provides flexibility in confirming transaction permanence based on varying security needs or latency requirements. This feature can allow for faster, less secure confirmations for small transactions. It also enables stronger, slower confirmations for high-value transfers. This represents an adjustment to the trade-off between transaction speed and security guarantees.
