Property of blockchain networks guaranteeing that any valid transaction submitted by any participant will eventually be included in the canonical chain, preventing miners, validators, or any coordinated group from systematically excluding transactions. Achieved through decentralised consensus, permissionless participation, and economic incentive alignment.
