Consensus is the mechanism by which a distributed network of computers can reach an unambiguous agreement over the current state of a distributed ledger. The goal of the consensus protocol is to make it difficult for anyone to create an alternative history, shut down the network, or censor individual users. The primary requirement for consensus is an agreement on the order of events and a deterministic algorithm for processing those events. | Consensus is the mechanism by which a distributed network of computers can reach an unambiguous agreement over the current state of a distributed ledger.

Consensus is the mechanism by which a distributed network of computers can reach an unambiguous agreement over the current state of a distributed ledger. The goal of the consensus protocol is to make it difficult for anyone to create an alternative history, shut down the network, or censor individual users. The primary requirement for consensus is an agreement on the order of events and a deterministic algorithm for processing those events.
