How Does the Concept of “Finality” Apply to the Price Reported by a DON?

Finality is the guarantee that a transaction or, in this case, a reported price, cannot be reverted or changed once it is recorded on the blockchain. For an oracle, finality means that the price is considered definitive and safe for protocols to use for critical actions like liquidation.

The oracle's finality is tied to the finality of the underlying blockchain it is built upon.
