Definition: Consensus

Truth admitted by all system participants. This doesn’t imply that it is the absolute truth or that it’s
indisputable, it is the truth participants agree on. In crypto, algorithms beginning with “Proof of XXXXX” allow to reach
blockchain consensus. A blockchain’s strength is to systematically reach a consensus in a decentralized way, which
is called “consensus protocol” or “consensus mechanism”.
