Normal operation in cryptocurrency refers to the regular functioning of a blockchain network where transactions are processed and validated according to the consensus rules set by the network. This involves participants sending, receiving, and recording transactions on the blockchain in a secure and decentralized manner.
During normal operation, transactions are verified by network nodes through a process known as mining or staking, depending on the consensus algorithm of the network. Once a transaction is confirmed, it is added to a block, which is then added to the blockchain. This process ensures the integrity and security of the network by preventing double-spending and unauthorized transactions.
In addition, normal operation involves the smooth functioning of network protocols, smart contracts, and other features that facilitate the transfer and storage of digital assets. Any deviations from the expected behavior of the network, such as software bugs, network attacks, or consensus failures, may disrupt normal operation and require intervention to restore the network to a stable state.
