Description: The Synchronous Agreement is a consensus process in which all involved parties must be fully synchronized to reach an agreement. This type of agreement is fundamental in distributed systems, where multiple nodes or participants must coordinate to ensure the consistency and validity of transactions. In a synchronous environment, each participant must wait for all other nodes to reach an agreement before proceeding, which implies constant and real-time communication. The main characteristics of Synchronous Agreement include the need for all nodes to be active and available at the same time, as well as the ability to effectively handle communication failures. This approach is particularly relevant in applications where data accuracy and integrity are critical, such as in financial systems or distributed database management. Synchronization ensures that all participants have the same information and that decisions are made jointly, minimizing the risk of inconsistencies. However, this method also presents challenges, such as latency in communication and the need for a high level of node availability, which can complicate its implementation in larger networks or in environments with high variability in connectivity.
