Definition ∞ Asynchronous computation permits tasks to run independently without waiting for immediate completion. This processing method enables different parts of a system to operate without strict sequential dependency, allowing operations to proceed concurrently. In blockchain contexts, it facilitates improved throughput by enabling transactions or smart contract executions to be processed in parallel or without immediate finality. This approach optimizes resource usage and enhances system responsiveness.
Context ∞ The implementation of asynchronous computation is a vital area of research and development for blockchain scalability solutions. Protocols striving for higher transaction per second rates often depend on mechanisms that allow for non-blocking execution of operations. Advances in this domain are essential for supporting complex decentralized applications and increasing the practical utility of digital assets.
