Why It Affects Everything
This isn’t a backend technicality.
Because Qubic runs directly on bare metal, and ticks finalize immediately:
Smart contracts
execute with consistent timing
Miners
get immediate feedback from Computors
Wallet users
experience low-latency transactions
Apps
can rely on predictable system behavior
Bare metal and instant finality are tightly connected — one enables the other.
