# Canonicality vs. Finality
|
|
|
|
Finality indicates that a block will not be reverted, according to the consensus algorithm,
|
|
while canonicality indicates that the block may be reverted, but we will be unable to do so,
|
|
having discarded heavy state that will allow a chain reorganization.
|
|
|
|
Finality implies canonicality but not vice-versa.
