<h1>Blockchain Consensus Algorithms</h1>
<p>Consensus algorithms are a set of rules or protocols that enable nodes in a blockchain network to agree on a shared state of the network. They are used to ensure that all nodes in the network come to a consensus on the validity of transactions and the order in which they are added to the blockchain.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A consensus algorithm is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the blockchain by ensuring that no single node or group of nodes can manipulate the network.</p>
