Why Blockchain Performance Depends on Consensus

Blockchain performance begins with consensus.

Consensus governs transaction execution.

Applications cannot override consensus.

External services cannot bypass validation.

Every transaction enters the network.

Every transaction is verified.

Every transaction requires agreement.

Finality follows consensus.

submit → validate → confirm

This sequence defines execution.

Network speed reflects network conditions.

Protocol rules define system limits.

Verification protects consistency.

Consensus protects agreement.

Execution follows protocol logic.
