Episode 110 - Orphan or Uncle Blocks

In this episode, we understand what are orphan or uncle blocks. This is more of a Proof of Work related concept where two blocks are produced at the same time. One of them becomes part of the chain - based on the longest chain consensus rule - while the other becomes and orphan (Bitcoin) or uncle (Ethereum 1.0) block.

Listen to the full episode to understand what eventually happens to these blocks and transactions inside them.
