Let's talk about transaction finality.
To overturn a finalized block on Ethereum, an attacker would have at least one-third of their total staked ETH slashed.
Honestly, I only learned this later: when receiving a large payment, wait for enough confirmations or finality before releasing it—don't just rely on seeing that it's “on-chain.”
On Ethereum, the staked $ETH is the guarantee of finality: rewriting a finalized block means losing a huge amount of stake. Currently, 1939.1.
Markets are always uncertain, so decide in advance what you'll do if you're wrong.
