Distributed Validation

Definition

‘Distributed Validation’ is a process where multiple independent entities collectively verify the accuracy and legitimacy of transactions or data entries within a decentralized system. This approach ensures that no single point of control exists, thereby enhancing the security and trustworthiness of the network. By distributing the validation task across a network of participants, it becomes significantly more difficult for any malicious actor to compromise the system’s integrity. This mechanism is fundamental to the operation of many blockchain technologies.
