# Consensus Mechanism (3/4)

Enexfi uses a 3/4 consensus mechanism to ensure reliability and security across the energy verification and tokenization process.

**Key Features:**<br>

1. **Fault Tolerance**
   * Requires at least 3 out of 4 validator nodes to agree before a transaction or energy data point is recorded.
   * Ensures that up to 1 node can fail or act maliciously without compromising the system.<br>
2. **Energy Data Verification**
   * IoT measurements are cross-checked by multiple validator nodes.
   * Only verified and agreed-upon data is written to the blockchain.<br>
3. **Token Transactions**
   * All ENX transfers, staking, and reward distributions are confirmed through the 3/4 consensus.
   * Guarantees data integrity and prevents double-spending or manipulation.<br>
4. **Benefits**
   * High security and reliability
   * Efficient consensus with minimal latency
   * Supports scalable and decentralized energy-backed token ecosystem
