Robustness

Definition

Robustness refers to a system’s ability to maintain its functionality and performance even when faced with unexpected inputs, errors, or adverse conditions. In blockchain and digital asset systems, this means the network can withstand attacks, node failures, extreme market volatility, or software bugs without compromising its security, data integrity, or operational continuity. A robust system exhibits resilience and fault tolerance, ensuring reliable transaction processing and asset availability under stress. It is a critical attribute for any decentralized infrastructure supporting financial value.
