📊 Technical principles | Transaction finality
· Key point: To overturn a finalized Ethereum block, an attacker would have to lose at least one-third of the total staked ETH to slashing.
· How it works: Ethereum requires votes from two-thirds of the staked ETH to finalize blocks. If too many validators go offline, finalization pauses, but blocks continue to be produced as usual.
· Reminder: When receiving a large payment, wait for enough confirmations or for finality before shipping. Don’t rely only on “on-chain.”
