Compressed Batches

Definition

Compressed Batches are groups of transactions or data that have been reduced in size for more efficient processing. This technique aggregates multiple individual operations into a single unit, which is then subjected to data compression algorithms or cryptographic proof generation to minimize its data footprint. By reducing the volume of information that needs to be recorded on a main blockchain, compressed batches significantly decrease transaction costs and enhance the network’s overall processing capacity. They are a fundamental component of many layer-2 scaling solutions, enabling a higher throughput for decentralized applications.
