= Agreement algorithms
{wiki=Category:Agreement_algorithms}
Agreement algorithms are computational methods used in distributed systems to achieve consensus among multiple agents or nodes. These algorithms are crucial in ensuring that all participants in a distributed system agree on a single data value, even in the presence of failures and network issues. The primary goal is to ensure consistency and reliability across the system, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of operations, especially in systems like databases, distributed ledgers, and networked applications.
