Block space allocation describes the process by which available capacity within a blockchain block is assigned to various transactions or data entries. This assignment is typically governed by a fee market, where users bid for inclusion by offering transaction fees to validators or miners. It determines which transactions are processed and confirmed within a given block, influencing network throughput and transaction costs. Efficient allocation is vital for network utility.
