📐 Technical principles|Transaction finality
· Definition: Ethereum blocks generally reach “finalized” status after two epochs (about 12.8 minutes).
· Why: Ethereum finality requires two-thirds of staked validators to participate in voting. If too many validators are offline, finality pauses, but blocks continue to be produced as usual.
· In practice: When depositing or withdrawing between different chains, finality speeds vary from chain to chain, so a delayed arrival does not necessarily mean something has gone wrong.
