Honest question, do blockchains do this? My understanding is that blockchains operate under the assumption that collusion is common and bad actors are rampant and are designed to mitigate it, not that they can prove collusion is not happening.
Hypothetically, if every mining node provided a real-world value in every broadcast, then wouldn't the consensus mechanism operate as an oracle just like the transactions operate as a ledger?
