Transaction Conflict Resolution

Definition

Transaction conflict resolution refers to the mechanisms and procedures employed in a blockchain system to manage and settle disputes arising when multiple transactions attempt to modify the same state concurrently. This process ensures that only valid operations are ultimately recorded on the ledger, maintaining data integrity and consistency. Techniques often involve ordering rules, optimistic concurrency, or explicit locking to prevent double-spending or inconsistent state updates. It is vital for system reliability.
