Decentralized Agreement

Definition

Decentralized Agreement refers to the process by which a distributed network of independent participants collectively reaches a shared and verifiable decision without relying on a central authority. This consensus is achieved through cryptographic protocols and economic incentives, ensuring that all honest nodes concur on the state of the system. It is a foundational principle for blockchain technology and other distributed ledger systems. The mechanism maintains system integrity despite potential failures or malicious actions from some participants.
