Blockchain systems operate at the intersection of cryptography and economic incentives, combining security mechanisms with game-theoretic principles to safeguard digital assets worth billions of dollars. At the heart of this security lie cryptographic techniques and, crucially, consensus algorithms that maintain a globally consistent ledger by receiving, sequencing, and…
