State Continuity

Definition

State continuity in blockchain systems refers to the uninterrupted and consistent progression of the network’s ledger state, even in the event of outages or attacks. It ensures that the current and historical records of all transactions and smart contract executions remain accessible and valid. This property is vital for maintaining the reliability and trustworthiness of a decentralized application or digital asset. Robust state continuity is a core requirement for any resilient blockchain.
