Blockspace Value

Definition

Blockspace value represents the economic utility derived from the limited transactional capacity of a blockchain network. This value stems from the demand to record data and execute operations on a decentralized ledger, competing for inclusion within each block. It reflects the cost users are willing to pay, often through transaction fees, for the right to use this scarce resource. Higher demand for network usage relative to its supply directly correlates with an increase in blockspace value.
