Finality
The point at which a block is considered irreversible under the chain's consensus protocol.
In plain language
Vara finality and Ethereum finality are separate when a governance action sends a cross-chain message.
Why it matters
Success on the source chain does not automatically prove finalized execution on the destination chain.
