Low Latency Finality

Definition

Low latency finality refers to the rapid and irreversible confirmation of transactions on a blockchain. This characteristic ensures that once a transaction is processed, it cannot be altered or reversed, providing immediate certainty to participants. Achieving low latency is crucial for applications requiring quick settlement, such as high-frequency trading or real-time payments within decentralized networks. It significantly enhances the user experience and operational efficiency of blockchain systems.
