Truthful Consensus refers to a state in a decentralized network where participants collectively agree on the correct and valid sequence of transactions or data, reflecting the true state of the system. This agreement is achieved through a consensus mechanism that incentivizes honest behavior and penalizes malicious actions. It ensures the integrity and immutability of the blockchain’s ledger. Achieving truthful consensus is fundamental to the security and reliability of digital asset systems.
Context
