What's the guarantee that every peer has the same number of blocks? Are they asynchronously updated through a global endpoint or something similar?
And how do these peers communicate with each other?
- Natanael_L 10y agoAll full nodes propagates blocks they generate or receive to everybody else. The blockchain system aims for global concensus. The chain with the greatest amount of proof of work will propagate to the majority of the network and be accepted as valid by these nodes (assuming it also follows the protocol rules).
