Consistency Levels#
The following table documents each chain's consistencyLevel
values (i.e., finality reached before signing). The consistency level defines how long the Guardians should wait before signing a VAA. The finalization time depends on the specific chain's consensus mechanism. The consistency level is a u8
, so any single byte may be used. However, a small subset has particular meanings. If the consistencyLevel
isn't one of those specific values, the Otherwise
column describes how it's interpreted.
