Most blockchains don’t actually have finality.
They have a number of confirmations and a prayer.
Here’s what real finality looks like.
:thread:
Bitcoin’s finality: wait and hope.
Ethereum’s: wait less, hope more.
Reality’s finality: physically impossible to reverse.
This is how we got there :point_down:
When you swipe your card, the merchant doesn’t actually have your money for days.
Blockchain was supposed to fix this.
But if it takes 60 minutes to confirm a transaction that can’t be reversed, you still can’t use it at a coffee shop.
Finality is the whole game.
Every chain made the same tradeoff.
Fast finality = sequential processing = low throughput.
High throughput = probabilistic finality = long wait.
Pick one. That was the rule.
Two layers running simultaneously.
L1: 3 validators form a triangle, share transactions, sign a block. Done in seconds.
L0: wraps thousands of L1 blocks into one global finalization.
Throughput and finality are now independent variables.
On Bitcoin, finality time grows as more people use the network.
On Reality, finality time stays flat no matter how many transactions are happening.
More users = same finality speed.
Every validator builds a reputation score based on observable, unforgeable behavior.
Honest behavior accumulates influence over time.
The winning snapshot isn’t chosen by who voted. It’s chosen by the cumulative weight of who agreed.
To attack it you need mass.
Mass requires being honest.
The attack defeats itself.
What this unlocks:
→ Merchants accept crypto at point of sale
→ Smart contracts execute instantly
→ DeFi without probabilistic assumptions
→ Cross-chain finality solved
This is the infra that lets crypto actually work.
Reversing a confirmed RealityNet transaction is like reversing heat flow.
A violation of the second law of thermodynamics.
We built consensus as a law of nature.
