Definition ∞ Distributed agreement refers to the process where multiple independent nodes in a decentralized network collectively decide on a single value or state. This consensus mechanism ensures that all participants hold the same view of the ledger, even in the presence of faulty or malicious actors. It forms the foundation of blockchain integrity and transaction finality.
Context ∞ The concept of distributed agreement is fundamental to the security and operation of all blockchain networks. A key discussion involves improving the efficiency and robustness of consensus protocols to support higher transaction volumes. Future research explores novel agreement mechanisms that enhance scalability while maintaining decentralization and resistance to attacks.
