How Does the Concept of “Epoch” Relate to PoS Finality?
An epoch is a fixed period of time (e.g. 6.4 minutes in Ethereum) during which a set number of blocks are proposed and attested to.
Finality in PoS is typically achieved at the end of an epoch, when the supermajority of validators attests to the blocks within that epoch. This batched approach simplifies the finalization process and reduces overhead.
