What Are ‘Consensus Rules’ in a Blockchain Network?

Consensus rules are the set of agreed-upon protocols and criteria that all participating nodes in a decentralized network must follow to validate blocks and transactions. These rules define the blockchain's state, such as the maximum block size, the halving schedule, and the validity checks for transactions.

Following these rules ensures that all nodes maintain a single, consistent version of the ledger.
