Transaction finalization latency measures the time elapsed from when a transaction is initiated until it achieves irreversible confirmation on a blockchain. This includes the time for network propagation, block inclusion, and subsequent confirmations required for the transaction to be considered immutable. Lower latency indicates faster and more efficient transaction settlement. It is a key metric for network performance.
Context
