The headline mentions “Cosmos stalled for 25 hours”.
The article states that decentralization does not mean a network is always online.
The article states that a blockchain’s operation depends on enough participants reaching consensus.
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This content is intended to explain that even a decentralized blockchain network may stop operating if too few nodes participate in consensus or if they cannot reach agreement.
