Consensus mechanism

Consensus mechanism is a technology embedded in the blockchain that facilitates fair agreement or consensus between active nodes. Consensus mechanisms are the backbone of blockchain networks, ensuring that all participants agree on the validity of transactions and the state of the ledger without requiring a central authority. They maintain trust, security, and transparency in decentralised systems by coordinating and validating data across the network.
