Fault Resilient Systems

Definition

Fault resilient systems are computing environments designed to maintain operational continuity and data integrity despite the occurrence of component failures or errors. In blockchain, this involves architectural choices that allow the network to withstand malicious attacks, hardware malfunctions, or software bugs without collapsing. Such systems typically incorporate redundancy, consensus mechanisms, and recovery protocols to ensure consistent availability and correctness. Their design is central to network reliability.
