Decentralized Block Sequencing

Definition

Decentralized block sequencing refers to a blockchain process where network participants collectively determine the order of blocks. This approach aims to prevent single points of control over transaction ordering, mitigating risks such as censorship and front-running. It relies on consensus mechanisms that distribute the responsibility for block production and ordering across many nodes. The goal is to ensure fairness and resistance to manipulation in the sequencing of data added to the ledger.
