Definition ∞ Decentralized reliability refers to the capacity of a distributed system, such as a blockchain network, to sustain continuous and correct operation despite the failure or malicious actions of individual parts. This reliability stems from the absence of a central control point and the distribution of trust across many participants. It ensures system uptime and data integrity without depending on a single entity. The network’s resilience against outages or attacks is a primary characteristic.
Context ∞ Discussions surrounding decentralized reliability are fundamental to the value proposition of many blockchain projects. News often highlights progress in consensus algorithms or network architectures that strengthen this attribute. Maintaining high decentralized reliability is a constant focus for developers aiming to build robust and censorship-resistant digital infrastructure.
