- Blockspace commitments: guarantees with respect to blockspace and its related capacity for transaction inclusion into future blocks. Blockspace derivatives are an example of a blockspace commitment.
- Execution commitments: guarantees with respect to state updates on the requested inputs to deliver the target state. Coprocessors are an example of an execution commitment device.
Not all pre-confirmations are equal. The different strength of pre-confs lie on a spectrum of weak basic inclusion guarantees to stronger post-execution stateful guarantees (h/t Jon Charb).
