Distributed Systems Model

Definition

A distributed systems model describes how multiple independent computers cooperate to function as a single system. This model outlines the architecture where components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. It emphasizes resilience, scalability, and the ability to operate even if some parts fail, contrasting with centralized systems. Blockchain technology inherently operates under a distributed systems model to achieve its decentralized and fault-tolerant properties.
