Consensus
By CoinGecko | Updated on Mar 03, 2020
Consensus is what allows a distributed system (like the blockchain) to function as a decentralized peer-to-peer system without the need to refer to a central authority figure for all participants to agree on what is the correct data.
Consensus is achieved in a blockchain system when all participants agree on the content of the next block that will be added onto the blockchain.
