Complexity Bounds

Definition

Complexity Bounds refer to the theoretical limits on the resources, such as time or computational power, required to execute an algorithm or solve a problem. In blockchain and cryptographic systems, these bounds are crucial for assessing the feasibility, efficiency, and security of protocols. Understanding these limits helps engineers design systems that are performant and resistant to attacks that exploit computational weaknesses. They quantify the effort needed for operations like transaction verification or proof generation.
