A validator will execute all transactions in a block. Not all transactions are guaranteed to be successful.

  • the 3rd question : as we all know ,the leader will split the blocks into shreds to send to others, assuming that a block has multiple parts, if the second part is received, do we need to wait for the data from the first part to arrive before executing the second part?

  • So, a validator is expected to execute all the transactions in a block in time, is that means a validator shall has the hardware as well as the leader?
