Global State

Going short refers to a trading strategy where investors sell borrowed assets with the expectation that their prices will decrease, allowing them to buy back at a lower price.

The term “Global State” refers to the complete and up-to-date record of all transactions, balances, and smart contracts within a blockchain network. It represents the current condition of the blockchain, where every participant can access the same data.Each node in the network maintains its own copy of the Global State. This ensures transparency and allows for verification of transactions without relying on a central authority. Updates to the Global State occur when new transactions are added through processes like mining or validating.In decentralized platforms, the Global State is crucial for maintaining trust among users. It helps prevent issues like double spending and ensures that everyone has the same information about account balances and other relevant data.As the network grows and becomes more dynamic, the Global State changes continuously, reflecting all recent activity. This constant evolution is vital for the functionality and integrity of blockchain-based systems.
