Future Block Production

Definition

Future block production pertains to the scheduled creation of new blocks on a blockchain at subsequent points in time. This concept involves the predictable or probabilistic generation of new blocks, which contain validated transactions and extend the blockchain’s ledger. In proof-of-stake systems, validators are assigned slots for future block production based on their staked amount and network participation. The integrity of this process is fundamental to network security and transaction finality.
