Definition ∞ Consensus geography describes the physical distribution of nodes and validators participating in a blockchain’s consensus mechanism across different geographical locations. This spatial distribution impacts network latency, censorship resistance, and overall system resilience. A diverse consensus geography contributes to a more robust and decentralized network.
Context ∞ Discussions around consensus geography frequently concern the decentralization and regulatory posture of blockchain networks. Reports often analyze the geographic concentration of mining pools or staking validators, assessing potential vulnerabilities to localized regulatory actions or physical attacks.
