## Introduction

GRANDPA, which stands for "GHOST-based Recursive ANcestor Deriving Prefix Agreement," is the consensus algorithms used by Avail. GRANDPA works in conjunction with another consensus
algorithm called BABE (Blind Assignment for Blockchain Extension) to secure the overall network and ensure the finality of blocks on the Avail blockchain.
GRANDPA in and of itself is a block finalization algorithm, and as such needs to be paired with block-authoring mechanisms like [Aura](https://paritytech.github.io/polkadot-sdk/master/sc_consensus_aura/index.html) or BABE (Avail uses BABE) to ensure a properly functioning blockchain.

GRANDPA is responsible for achieving finality in the Avail network. Finality means that once a block is added to the blockchain, it is irreversible and cannot be reverted. This is in
contrast to probabilistic finality found in some other consensus mechanisms.
