Execution Integrity

Definition

Execution integrity refers to the assurance that a transaction or smart contract operates exactly as intended, without unauthorized alterations or manipulations. In blockchain systems, this is maintained through cryptographic proofs and consensus mechanisms that validate each operation. It ensures that the agreed-upon rules of a protocol are strictly followed, preventing malicious actors from distorting outcomes. The concept is central to the reliability and trustworthiness of decentralized applications.
