# Savanna Consensus

**Savanna** is the advanced consensus algorithm that powers the Vaulta blockchain, ensuring that your transactions are confirmed **instantly and irreversibly**.​

In many blockchains, when a transaction is marked as "final," there's still a small chance it could be reversed. Savanna eliminates this uncertainty by providing **true finality** in as little as **1 second**. Once your transaction is finalized on Vaulta, it's **permanent and unchangeable**.

Listen to the Vaulta Foundation’s Director of Engineering, Areg Hayrapetian [explain the power of Savanna](https://eosnetwork.com/resources/deep-dive-spring-1-savanna-consensus-2/).
