1.As it is a global network it needs to be available 24/7/365 for all applications across all time zones. All global business is 24/7/365 just like the internet, information always available, blockchain technology needs to always be available.

2.Incentivisation on the network makes the availability so high, being rewarded to keep the system running through financial reward as most people want to make money. This reward is done through mining and difficulty within mining moves up and down make sure that miners are always verifying the network, such as if a region or area has gone down new miners will come on line to carry on the blockchain verifications

Why is it important for blockchain networks to be high availability networks?
Currently cryptocurrency is the largest use case of blockchain technology. As global users need access to be able to use their currency 24/7 it means that blockchain networks are needed to be high availability networks. Aside from cryptocurrencies a high availability network allows users from across the globe to utilize the network at their convenience without having to worry about its availability.

What is it that enables blockchain networks to have such high availability?
Blockchain networks have such high availability as there are always computers powering the decentralized network. People are incentivized to mine which means that there are always computers powering the blockchain at all times which allows for high availability.

  1. It is important for the network to have 0 down tome because if it were ever down all those transactions that anyone tried to place could be lost or even cause the network to lose the confidence of the participants.

  2. The key is incentives. If many are participating in the network then there is stability and security. If some leave there is an opportunity to become a miner because mining is easier. There is an incentive to always make sure the network is secure through participation of many nodes.
