One thing I learned about: Consensus Mechanisms in Web3
Blockchain nodes are independent but need to agree on the state of the blockchain.
They are also public so anyone can try to change the chain for their benefit.
Consensus mechanisms are the protocols and incentives that help nodes to agree on state and history.
Things to agree on:
- blocks
- transactions
- their order
