🗒️ Technical Principles|Transaction Finality
· Definition: On Ethereum, a checkpoint can only be finalized when validators representing at least two-thirds of the staked amount vote to approve it.
· Principle: Probabilistic finality is like a stack of papers that gets taller and taller—the more papers piled on top, the harder it is to pull out the one at the bottom. Deterministic finality is more like a signed contract: once it’s stamped, it can’t be undone.
· Note: When depositing or withdrawing between different chains, finality speeds vary from chain to chain. A slow arrival doesn’t necessarily mean something has gone wrong.
