What Is Transaction Finality in PoS?

Transaction finality is the guarantee that a transaction cannot be reversed once it has been included in the blockchain. In PoS, finality is often achieved through a two-step voting process by a supermajority of validators, after which the transaction is considered irreversible without a catastrophic and extremely costly attack (e.g. losing all staked capital).
