Optimal resilience refers to a system’s ability to recover from disruptions and maintain essential functions with the most efficient use of resources. In blockchain networks, this signifies a design that balances robustness against attacks or failures with operational efficiency and scalability. It represents an ideal state of system durability.
Context
Discussions about optimal resilience are frequent in blockchain architecture and security analyses, particularly when evaluating new protocol designs or network upgrades. News may cover how different consensus mechanisms or sharding solutions aim to achieve this balance.
