Network Delay Resilience

Definition

Network delay resilience describes a blockchain’s capacity to maintain operational stability despite communication delays among its nodes. This property ensures that the network can still achieve consensus and process transactions effectively even when information propagation is slow or inconsistent. High resilience is crucial for decentralized systems operating globally, where varying network conditions are common. It contributes to the overall robustness and reliability of the blockchain infrastructure, preventing forks or transaction failures.
