Rushing Attack Mitigation

Definition

Rushing Attack Mitigation refers to strategies and mechanisms designed to prevent or minimize the impact of rapid, concentrated attacks on a blockchain network. These attacks often involve a sudden surge of malicious transactions or computational power aimed at disrupting consensus or exploiting vulnerabilities. Mitigation efforts include dynamic difficulty adjustments, transaction fee markets, and protocol-level security enhancements. Such measures are crucial for maintaining network stability and integrity.
