Dash's ChainLock feature leverages [LLMQ Signing Requests/Sessions](#llmq-signing-session)
to reduce uncertainty when receiving funds and remove the possibility of 51%
mining attacks.
For each block, an LLMQ of a few hundred masternodes is selected and each
participating member signs the first block that it sees extending the active
chain at the current height. If enough members (e.g. >= 60%) see the same block
as the first block, they will be able to create a `clsig` message and propagate
it to all nodes in the network.
If a valid `clsig` message is received by a node, it must reject all blocks (and
any descendants) at the same height that do not match the block specified in the
`clsig` message. This makes the decision on the active chain quick, easy and
unambiguous. It also makes reorganizations below this block impossible.
Please read [DIP8 ChainLocks](https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0008.md)
for additional details.
