AI-generatedPolygon PoS checkpoint finality guarantees during Ethereum mainnet congestion
Context The Polygon PoS chain achieves probabilistic finality through periodic checkpoint submissions to Ethereum. Each checkpoint represents a state root that becomes immutable once the corresponding Ethereum transaction reaches sufficient confirmations. The research indicates that Ethereum congestion can delay checkpoint inclusion, extending the window whe
