Cassandra forfeits consistency in the CAP theorem. The reason for this is because Cassandra is designed as a distributed database system that prioritizes availability and partition tolerance over consistency. In other words, Cassandra ensures that all nodes in the system can function and communicate with each other despite network failures or partitions, even if it means sacrificing consistency across some of the nodes.
