Client-Side Computation

Definition

Client-side computation involves processing that occurs directly on a user’s local device, such as a web browser or application, rather than on a central server. In digital asset applications, this executes code and performs calculations locally, reducing the processing load on network validators or remote servers. It enhances user privacy by minimizing data transmission to external entities and often improves application responsiveness. This approach contrasts with server-side processing where all operations are performed remotely.
