Byzantine Fault
A Byzantine fault refers to a failure in a computer system, particularly in distributed computing or blockchain networks, where a component behaves unpredictably or maliciously, and its failure is not easily detectable by other parts of the system. This type of fault poses a significant challenge because it may send conflicting or false information to different components, disrupting consensus and system reliability.
A buy/sell wall refers to a large order placed by a cryptocurrency whale (a trader or investor holding a significant amount of tokens) to buy or sell a token at a specific price. These walls are displayed on the order book of a cryptocurrency exchange and represent significant resistance to price movement.
