Computational Marketplace

Definition ∞ A Computational Marketplace is a decentralized platform where users can buy and sell computing resources. It connects providers of processing power with those requiring it for various tasks. This system enables efficient allocation and utilization of distributed computational capacity. Participants interact through smart contracts to facilitate transactions.
Context ∞ The expansion of computational marketplaces is a significant development for decentralized applications and Web3 infrastructure. Current discussions center on the pricing mechanisms, the reliability of computational execution, and the security of data processing. Future progress depends on improving scalability and interoperability across different blockchain networks.
