Distributed Ledger Failure

Definition

Distributed Ledger Failure signifies a critical malfunction or breakdown in the operational integrity of a distributed ledger technology (DLT) system. This can manifest as an inability to record or validate transactions, a loss of data consistency across network participants, or a complete halt in network operations. Such a failure compromises the core purpose of a DLT, which is to maintain a secure and immutable record of information. It represents a significant breach of trust and functionality.
