Censorship Resistance

The ability of a blockchain to process transactions without any single party being able to block or reverse them.

Definition

The ability of a blockchain to process transactions without any single party being able to block or reverse them. It's one of the core value propositions of decentralized networks. If a government can freeze your funds or a company can deny your transaction, the system isn't truly censorship-resistant.
