Commitment level
Last updated:
Applies to: Solana
In more detail
processed is the node's most recent processed block: the newest view, which can still be rolled back. confirmed is a block voted on by a supermajority — more than two-thirds — of active stake. finalized is a block with maximum lockout, the strongest confirmation state the network uses.
When a request omits commitment, the node uses its default, typically finalized. Two reads at different commitment levels can legitimately return different data for the same account, so related reads should use the same level.
