How Does TSS Protect against a “Denial of Service” Attack on the Oracle Network?

A Denial of Service (DoS) attack aims to disrupt the network by overwhelming it or taking nodes offline. TSS helps protect against this by allowing the network to continue functioning even if a certain number of nodes are taken offline.

As long as the number of active, honest nodes remains above the predefined signature threshold ($t$), the network can still generate a valid, aggregated signature and deliver the data on-chain.
