Transaction Sequence Integrity

Definition

Transaction sequence integrity ensures that the order of operations in a distributed ledger remains correct and tamper-proof. In blockchain systems, this means that transactions are processed and recorded in the exact order they were intended, preventing any manipulation or reordering that could lead to unfair advantages or double-spending. Cryptographic proofs and consensus mechanisms are employed to uphold this integrity across all network nodes. It is fundamental for the reliability and trustworthiness of the ledger.
