Negligible Error

Definition

Negligible error signifies a level of inaccuracy or deviation that is so small it does not materially affect the outcome or integrity of a computation or system. In digital asset contexts, this concept is crucial for ensuring the reliability of cryptographic operations, transaction processing, and data integrity on blockchains. Systems are designed to minimize errors to a point where they are statistically insignificant and do not pose a risk to security or functionality. Adherence to negligible error standards is a prerequisite for trust in decentralized ledger technologies.
