This scenario is known as probabilistic finality. 🧵 4/11
Another way to look at it: on most other blockchains, if someone makes a payment to you, even if it appears in the latest block added to the chain, you still can’t immediately consider yourself paid. https://t.co/3PaEkFWdwI 🧵 3/11
When many blocks have been processed, the likelihood of the txn being on an orphaned chain is practically zero.
These so-called “Short Forks” are an unwelcome source of uncertainty and delay when you are moving around assets of value (like a rent check!). 🧵 2/11
First: let’s illustrate what happens when a chain doesn’t have instant finality.
In many blockchains, forking–or splitting the chain–is a possibility, meaning that txns can’t be considered final until a certain amount of blocks are processed. https://t.co/KUCNtkkj8C 🧵 1/11
Can you imagine sending a transaction (txn) and seeing it being rolled back some time later?
This type of failed txn is normal for many blockchains, but not at @algorand - because we have instant finality.
*But what exactly does instant finality mean*?
