Validation

Short Description:

Validation is the process of confirming the accuracy and legitimacy of data and transactions within a decentralized network.

Main Description:

Validation is the process of ensuring transactions follow the rules of the network. Computers called “Validators” run code to check if incoming transactions have all necessary information, have valid signatures, and can actually be performed on the network. If so, they are shared with the rest of the network through the consensus process before being applied to the blockchain.
