Censorship Resistance
The property of a blockchain network that makes it practically impossible for any single entity — government, corporation, or individual — to prevent valid transactions from being included in blocks. Strong censorship resistance requires a sufficiently decentralized validator/miner set, diverse geographic distribution, and protocol-level inclusion guarantees. It is considered one of the foundational value propositions of public blockchains, ensuring that the network remains neutral and accessible to all participants.
