A "witness block" is a term used primarily in the context of blockchain technology, particularly in relation to certain blockchain designs that incorporate elements of consensus mechanisms like Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) or other variations. In DPoS systems, block production is typically handled by a select group of validators or witnesses, who are elected by token holders. A witness block refers to a specific block produced by one of these selected witnesses.
