Self Sufficient Consensus

Definition

Self sufficient consensus describes a decentralized network’s ability to achieve agreement among participants without external intervention or centralized coordination. This concept refers to a consensus mechanism designed to operate autonomously, where the rules and incentives within the protocol naturally guide participants towards agreement on the state of the ledger. It means the network can independently validate transactions, maintain security, and resist attacks solely through its internal economic and cryptographic design. Such a system reduces reliance on trusted third parties, promoting true decentralization.
